Approval rating of Colombia's president hits record low
by Adriaan Alsema November 8, 2019
The approval rating of Colombia’s President Ivan Duque has sunk to 26%, pollster Gallup said Thursday.
The latest slump followed a disastrous month for the president, whose party received a beating in local elections last month and whose defense minister resigned on Wednesday over a military operation that killed at least eight children.
According to Gallup, Duque’s disapproval rating soared to a record 69% two weeks before a national strike in opposition to the president and his policies.
The president’s previous disapproval record was set in November after Finance Minister Alberto Carrasquilla presented a tax reform that included corporate tax cuts and the lowering of the income tax threshold.
