The Democratic Party’s first goal after the primaries should be to introduce new Secretary Elly Schlein. Yes, because despite months of internal battle with Stefano Bonaccini and the other challengers for the leadership (Gianni Cuperlo and Paola De Micheli), in the end the result is that more than one Italian in three simply does not know it. The ruthless figure emerges from the Ipsos poll presented by Nando Pagnoncelli on the DiTuesday Feb. 28 episode. As always, guest researcher Giovanni Floris presents ad hoc research on female leadership, from Giorgia Meloni to Schlein.
Well, the first question is who, between the two, is a more reassuring figure. “41 percent indicate President Meloni, 25 indicate Schlein, 34 do not express themselves – says Pagnoncelli – we must also say that Schlein is not known by the entire population and therefore is somewhat penalized from the point of view of the result” .
The next question to the respondents is that which refers to a general judgment about the secretary of the Democratic Party: is she a modern person or guided by an ideology? “35 percent consider it modern, 29 ideological but 36 percent don’t know about it and don’t have an opinion”, explains the researcher. In short, Schlein will have convinced most voters and supporters of the dem, but millions of Italians don’t know who he is. Pagnancelli then presents data on possible coalitions. Who would lead Italy better, the current majority government with Melons, Silvio Berlusconi and Matteo Salvini or a coalition with Schlein, Giuseppe Conte and Carlo Calenda? 38% indicate the first, 32 the second, while 30% do not indicate any of them or do not respond.
