Evaluar los municipios mediante encuestas de opinión es un acto cívico de toda democracia. La encuesta como instrumento permite recolectar información que da cuenta sobre la percepción de los munícipes con relación al desempeño de sus autoridades. Este artículo se fundamenta en una encuesta de opinión aplicada al Ayuntamiento Municipal Baitoa en República Dominicana, busca aportar un diagnóstico que mejore su gestión tomando como base la valoración de sus munícipes. La encuesta está integrada por siete ítems, se aplica de forma presencial a una muestra aleatoria de 260 ciudadanos habitantes del municipio, según el método Bonilla (1993). La investigación beneficia a las autoridades electas para el periodo 2016-2020. El estudio encuentra que el 69 % de los encuestados percibió de manera buena o excelente la gestión municipal actual, donde de cada diez (10) ciudadanos, seis (6) entienden que la mayor fortaleza de la administración fue brindar servicios básicos (recogida de basura, entre otros). Destaca que la población entiende que la administración informa bien y maneja bien sus recursos en un 41 % de la muestra y que un 34 % valora de forma especial la reparación de las vías de comunicación. Un 51 % de los encuestados tiene expectativas de que la gestión podría tener una mejora continua en su gestión. Un 39 % desearía que la administración municipal realizara en términos generales más obras municipales, de manera particular, un 44 % de los encuestados desearía que se privilegiara la reparación de vías de comunicación.
