    POLL SAYS 67 PERCENT OF RURAL VOTERS TO SUPPORT PRIME
    MINISTER

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 1, ARMENPRESS: According to a
    public opinion poll conducted outside Yerevan by
    Sociometer polling center, 67 percent of rural
    population are ready to vote for prime minister Serzh
    Sarkisian in the February 19 presidential election.
    These figures were unveiled January 31 by Aharon
    Adibekian, head of the polling center, who said that
    about 11 percent of voters beyond Yerevan are still
    undecided.
    The poll also found that 9 percent are ready to
    support a former parliament chairman Arthur
    Baghdasarian, ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosian is
    supported by 6 percent, while a deputy parliament
    chairman Vahan Hovhanesian from the Armenian
    Revolutionary Federation enjoys only the support of 3
    percent of the vote.
    Adibekian said almost 98 percent of rural
    population recognize prime minister Serzh Sarkisian,
    who is followed by Levon Ter-Petrosian-81 percent and
    Arthur Baghdasarian-57 percent.
    He said few people in regions have read election
    manifestoes of the candidates, because the majority
    vote not for the election program but for an
    individual.
    Another finding of the poll is that almost 75
    percent will go to polling stations, 20 percent are
    not interested in the election.
    The poll was conducted among 2,240 people, 20
    percent refused to answer the questions.
    Adibekian said there is a little probability of a
    second round since almost two thirds of all votes
    would be cast in Serzh Sarkisian's favor.
