A large majority of citizens in our country, estimated at around three-quarters of the nationals, recognize that the current political crisis affects them considerably, according to the latest survey of national representation by the Institute of Peruvian Studies (IEP), research carried out for the Republic newspaper.
The study consulted the population from February 21 to 23 and has margins of error of 2.8 points above and below each national level result.
Approximately 76% of Peruvians estimate that this political crisis affects them a lot or somewhat. That is to say, nearly three-quarters of the country recognizes themselves in considerable prejudice due to the difficulties of the political crisis.

This estimate results from two groups: 63% who think that the current political crisis affects them a lot and 13% who calculate that it harms them somewhat.
Therefore, those who acknowledge that they are very affected by the difficult political situation we are facing are also a clear majority, this time a little less than two-thirds of the country.
On the other hand, only 23% of Peruvians estimate that the political crisis we are experiencing affects them little or not at all. This is almost a quarter of the national population with this position.

This calculation results from two other groups: 15% of compatriots who estimate that the political crisis does little harm to them and barely 8% who believe that nothing.
In addition, 36% of citizens consider that the mistakes made by President Pedro Castillo are mainly due to the fact that he does not have the capacity to govern. This is just over a third of the country with this perception.
This opinion is much more widespread among the more affluent (from socioeconomic levels A and B) and those who live in metropolitan Lima.

Meanwhile, 31% of the national population believes that the head of state’s mistakes are mainly due to not letting him work. This is about a third of the citizenry.
This perception is somewhat more common in rural areas of Peru.
On the other hand, for 29% of the compatriots, the main reason for Castillo’s mistakes is that he has surrounded himself with negative people.
This opinion appears somewhat more widespread in the central provinces of our country.
