Santos' approval rating drops to 78% amid security concerns
http://www.colombiareports.com/colombia-news/news/22080-santos-approval-rating-drops-to-78-amid-security-concerns.htmlColombian President Juan Manuel Santos' approval rating dropped five percentage points to 78% over the past month amid increased concerns about the country's security situation.
According to the Nacional Consultancy Center (CNC) poll, 18% disapprove of the president and his policies.
--------
Two thirds of Colombians who took part in the poll were positive about the future of their country. 28% was pessimistic about the future.
Santos scored lowest in the approval of his general security policy and the policies towards left-wing guerrilla groups and right-wing neo-paramilitary groups and drug gangs.
The polls carried out by the CNC traditionally show a higher approval rating than those carried out by other pollsters like Gallup.
