Buhari defeats Jonathan, Others in another 2015 Opinion Poll

Follow @Jandon101

It appears a lot of Nigerians are tired of President Goodluck Jonathan; lack of jobs, corruption, killings by Boko Haram are some of the challenges his government has consistently fail to tackle.

Though he declared his intent to re-contest in Abuja on Tuesday, President Jonathan would lose the 2015 poll to General Muhammadu Buhari if the Presidential election were held today.

The results from a fresh online poll, which ran for 24 hours through the independent third-party service E-POLL, has just confirmed this fact. 

Nigerians were asked, "If the 2015 Nigerian presidential election were held today, which of these candidates do you think would emerge President of Nigeria?" See the result below:

The five candidates were President Jonathan (PDP), Gen. Muhammad Buhari (APC), Speaker of the House of Reps Aminu Tambuwal (APC), Abubakar Atiku, former Vice President (APC), and Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso.

During the 24 hours, 13,700 people voted. 10,280 of those surveyed overwhelmingly voted for Buhari, giving him a 75% lead. This data mirrors a previous poll in which President Jonathan and Buhari were matched head-to-head, a pairing that suggested a win for Buhari with 78% of the vote cast.

As in the previous poll, respondents came from all over the world.

The previous poll prompted President Jonathan's aide on social media, Reno Omokri, to conduct another poll, with the same pairing.
