Colombia largely rejects Duque half a year after electing him president: Gallup
by Billy Wallace December 14, 2018
The disapproval rating of Colombia’s president Ivan Duque has reached 64%, less than half a year after he was elected president, according to pollster Gallup.
According to Gallup, Duque’s approval rating plummeted from 47% in October to 29% this month, confirming others polls that have estimated the president’s approval rating between 22% and 30%.
Pollster Guarumo said the president’s approval rating was 48.5% last month, but was almost immediately discredited after media revealed its founder had been hired by the Duque administration.

Can Duque recover?
The almost immediate collapse of Duque’s approval rating is unprecedented in Gallup’s history. Former presidents Andres Pastrana and Juan Manuel Santos also hit approval ratings below 30%, but not within half a year of their election.
