Humala Gains on Garcia in Peru Presidential Poll, Apoyo Says
May 29 (Bloomberg) -- Peruvian Nationalist candidate Ollanta Humala gained on frontrunner Alan Garcia in an opinion poll ahead of the country's June 4 presidential run-off vote.
Backing for Garcia slipped to 55 percent from 56 percent a week ago, while Humala rose to 45 percent from 43 percent, Lima- based polling firm Apoyo Opinion y Mercado said in an e-mail statement. The May 23-26 nationwide poll of 2,000 registered voters, which is based on valid votes, has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.2 percentage points.
In a mock vote, Garcia, Peru's president from 1985 to 1990, had 52 percent support to Humala's 48 percent, according to Apoyo. Around 20 percent of Peru's voters were still undecided, the pollster said.
