Covarrubias admits that she was asked to modify election polls results





Ana Cristina Covarrubias (director of Covarrubias y Asociados, a poll agency) admitted that she was requested to alter poll results against the left wing candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

During an interview for ADN Político, Covarrubias mentioned that apart from methodology mistakes, it was possible that poll companies had ethics issues.

ADN Político, asked Covarrubias if she thinks that polling companies deliberately present false results to aid or attack the public image of the candidates. Covarrubias answered:

I would believe it...  that this exists; even I have received offers.

However, Covarrubias refused to disclose who has made such offers to her arguing that she does not like gossips and is "bored with scandals".
