Rajapaksha is far ahead of his rival in a sample survey

The gallop poll we opened for a sample study who our readers would like to vote, gave 89 per cent votes for Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksha and 10 per cent for Gen Sarath Fonseka. And one per cent was undecided. This survey gives nearly nine times more chance for Rajapaksha to win in the elections.

The poll was open from midnight of January 23 to midnight of January 25—for two full days. 2242 voted in the gallop poll, out of which 1989 was for Mahinda Rajapaksha, and a mere 229 for Fonseka The former registers 10 times more votes than the later.

Although our readers are spread over the globe, the majority of them are from Sri Lanka. Hence the sample survey a 10 % on either side, and still Rajapaksha leaves his rival Fonseka far behind.
