Opinion polling for the 2006 Peruvian national election was carried out by pollsters authorized by the National Election Jury [1] both in the races for the Presidency and Congress. Several candidates expressed skepticism about poll results and even accused the pollsters of deliberately lying.[2] The Peruvian Association of Market Research (Asociación Peruana de Investigación de Mercados, APEIM) rejected such criticism and demanded formal apologies by those who accused the companies.[3] APEIM also criticized the pollster IDICE, not belonging to the association, for critical flaws in its methodology.[4] The company's results are nevertheless included in the section below.
