Four in ten Venezuelans would consider leaving the country if Nicolás Maduro were to be reelected in July's presidential election, a new poll by firm Meganalisis showed.

This would mean an exodus of close to 10 million people, in addition to the millions who have already left over the past years. According to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), more than 7.7 million Venezuelans have already left the country to escape the dire economic conditions and lack of freedom imposed. That represents close to about 20% of the population.
