Nobel Prize winner and Guatemalan presidential candidate Rigoberta Menchu (image) has some serious catching up to do if she wants to win her country’s elections. According to one of the latest polls, she sits in a distant third place, whereas in another survey se lies in fifth with a mere 1.5% in her favor.Despite having widespread name recognition, it seems that Menchu is being hampered by Guatemalans who view rampant crime as the country’s main problem and thus support the main right-wing candidate. At the same time, she is hurt by the leading leftist candidate who is championing social causes. Hence, Menchu is stuck behind the proverbial rock and a hard place.
