Ecuador’s Correa and El Salvador’ Funes, leaders with the highest approval-rate

Ecuador’s Rafael Correa and El Salvador Mauricio Funes have the highest approval ratings with 80% and 72% among presidents of the Americas, according to a report from Consulta Mitofsky. At the other extreme stand Sebastian Piñera from Chile, Laura Chinchilla from Costa Rica and Paraguayan Federico Franco with the lowest support.

“Rafael Correa from Ecuador repeats first place with 80% (one point less that the previous assessment) retaining the level of approval with which he initiated his mandate five years ago”, points out the Mexican pollster.

Mauricio Funes from El Salvador joined the ranking of presidents with outstanding assessment, “gradually recovering the approval of its people”.

The presidents with high marks are Otto Perez from Guatemala who in six months of government is placed third with 69% support followed by Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, who recovered positions and climbed to 64%. Brazil’s Dilma Rousseff retains her position with 62% support followed by Leonel Fernandez from Dominican Republic, 61% and Daniel Ortega, Nicaragua, 59%
