COLOMBIA: Mockus Reflects On Disappointing Election Results; Polling Fooled Him.
COLOMBIA REPORTS/ Antanas Mockus admitted he was fooled by polls showing he could win the presidency in the first round, and that winning the second round will be difficult. Mockus said that polls, which predicted a tie between the Green candidate and the Santos "got our hopes up, but the raw reality of the votes is what counts. It disconcerted us. If there hadn't been voter polls, we wouldn't have created the expectation of winning in the first round, as we did at a certain point, or at least gaining the advantage over [Santos'] Partido de la U in the first round," he said.
