The latest poll from Nicaragua's top firm shows the leftist Sandinista Front remains by far the most popular force, while support for the right-wing opposition is tiny

69% approve of President Daniel Ortega's gov't

73% say it gives them hope

76% feel the country has progressed

61% of Nicaraguans say the country is better with a leftist Sandinista government.

Just 4% strongly sympathize with the right-wing opposition.

The US govt-backed opposition groups, which have millions of dollars in foreign funding, can't even get 1% support from the population.

63% of Nicaraguans say they and their families will have better lives and jobs with a leftist Sandinista government

Only 14% think their lives would be better living under rule by the US-backed right-wing opposition (those are the rich elites, who Washington wants back in power)

Ever since the leftist Sandinista Front came back into power in Nicaragua in 2007 through elections, the number of people who want to immigrate out of the country has halved from 66% to 33%.

(But Washington keeps trying to destabilize Nicaragua and create a new refugee crisis)

This study from Nicaragua's leading polling firm makes it clear: The socialist, anti-imperialist Sandinista Front represents the majority of Nicaraguans, while the right-wing opposition represents a tiny elite.

And the USA has poured millions into sustaining that parasitic elite
