According to Latin American polling companies such as Datanalisis and Consultores 21, this year’s presidential elections in Venezuela will be a close-knit affair, and opposition candidate Capriles Radonski has decided he believes them, despite others polls giving Chavez 30% more of the vote. Venezuelanalysis.com argues that this could be part of the opposition's strategy.
The Washington Post has highlighted a global happiness survey released last year by the polling firm Gallup, which found that Venezuela is the fifth happiest country in the world. According to the poll, 64 percent of Venezuelan respondents said their well-being was thriving.

Venezuela’s Presidential elections for the period 2013 – 2019 will be held on Sunday October 7th 2012, about a month before the US jamboree takes place.

An analysis of poll results regarding the National Assembly elections, coming from companies with varying degrees of bias one way or another, with the aim of trying to get a sense of what the outcome will be from the Sunday elections.
When I read The Huffington Post (HP) repost of a report that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s popularity is “hitting a seven year low,” and that he’s coming in at only 36% popularity, I’m reminded why HP is called a “liberal” website.
As candidates from the pro-government United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and the opposition United Democratic Roundtable (MUD) sharpen the focus of their campaigns for Venezuela’s 165 National Assembly seats, recent polls indicate the PSUV is on track to win at least a solid majority in the September 26th vote.
