Seven days later from the survey commissioned by The Corriere dell’Umbria, a new survey arrives relating to the municipal elections of Perugia next 8 and 9 June. This is a survey carried out by the Bidimedia association and present on the official website of the Department for Information and Publishing of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.
According to this survey, as well as the one carried out by TechnoConsumer, the seat of mayor of Perugia will be assigned by ballot. A run-off scheduled for 23 and 24 June and which, again according to the survey, would see Margherita Scoccia (centre-right) and Vittoria Ferdinandi (centre-left) as protagonists. But while in the case of the survey de The Corriere dell’Umbria the survey range was 5%, and did not include the data of the individual lists and the second round; in the case of the Bidimedia survey we go into more detail. And there are important surprises.
Let’s start from the dispute for the mayor’s seat: Scoccia is given 47.9%, Ferdinandi 45.3%, Monni 2.7%, Baiocco 2.3%, Caponi 1.8%. The turnout, according to the Bidimedia survey, is around 66% of those eligible with 24% undecided. Moving on to the lists, interesting data emerges. The sum of the centre-right lists that support Scoccia reports a higher figure than the mayoral candidate, equal to 48.7%. In the lead is FdI, Perugia’s first list, at 21%, followed by Forza Italia-FP with Romizi at 7.2%, then Lega at 6.5% and at risk of being overtaken by the civic list Progetto Perugia given at 5.5%. Then there are Perugia Civica at 4.3%, the UDC at 2.1%, Futuro Giovani 1.1%, Perugia Amica 1%.
The exact opposite of the centre-left lists that support Ferdinandi, stuck at 44.6% and divided as follows: Pd at 15.1%, Anima Perugia with an excellent 7.8%, M5S 6.1%, Orchestra for Victory at 4.9%, Pensa Perugia at 4.8%, Alleanza Verdi Sinistra at 3.4%, Perugia for Public Health at 2.5%. The data for the lists that support the former Bandecchia player Baiocco is good, ItalExit-Alternativa Riformista is given at 1.9% while Forza Perugia is given at 0.5%. Perugia Merita stood at 2.7%, in support of Monni, the same figure as the mayoral candidate. While the PCI figure is slightly lower, 1.6% versus Caponi’s 1.8%.
Finally, the data from the run-off is interesting: according to the Bidimedia poll, in the two-person challenge, Ferdinandi would beat Scoccia 51.3% against 48.7%. In this case the level of undecided would rise to 30% while the turnout would fall, no more than 60%. Relata refero the Latin fathers would say, the candidates and citizens have the task of denying or confirming these figures.
