Approval

I happened to see that Alan García’s approval rating has jumped to 44%, as Peruvians respond to his handling of the earthquake (though, as the article points out, the people in Pisco are not exactly happy). Of course, it may not stay there long.

A quick look at Boz’s last list of polls (now almost month old) shows high numbers for Correa, Calderón, Morales, and Kirchner, while Uribe and Chávez have also consistently been high. Lula has been hit by a variety of scandals but hovers around or just under 50%.

In sum, at 39% approval Michelle Bachelet is currently one of the least popular presidents in the Americas, and that’s no easy achievement. Most recent polls put Bush in the low to mid 30s, not even so far behind.

Was that a subtle jab to get my act together and put more polls together? I know, I'm slacking lately... :)

Well, from a selfish point of view it's always nice to have someone else doing the digging...
