La Nacion Response Poll confirms technical tie but has YES in the lead

La Nación published the results of an Unimer poll today, which has the YES in the lead with 49.1% and the NO trailing with 46.3. Nevertheless, these numbers are also within the margin of error, meaning a technical tie, here too. According to Unimer, the support for CAFTA has decreased by 7% since August (from 56%) while the opposition has grown by 10% (36% in August). Slightly more than 64% of the respondents are decided and plan to vote on October 7, far surpassing the required 40% for the referendum to be binding. Unimer interviewed 1238 people face to face (UCR uses phone calls and has a much smaller sample). Both polls were undertaken after the memorandum scandal.
