LA PAZ, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Bolivian President Evo Morales survived a recall vote on Sunday, according to an unofficial, partial count of ballots at a representative sample of polling stations, private TV channel ATB said.

Respected pollster Ipsos Apoyo conducted the quick count -- a tally of votes at a sample of polling stations -- and said Morales had secured 56.7 percent support with 50 percent of the ballots counted.

Morales and eight of Bolivia's nine regional governors faced the recall. It was not immediately clear how many of them would also be confirmed in their jobs. (Reporting by Simon Gardner and Eduardo Garcia, editing by Chris Wilson)
