The President’s discharge Luis Lacalle Pou collects 45% approval and 34% disapproval, according to data from a new Team survey presented this Monday in Underlined. Other 20% answered that they neither approve nor disapprove of the management, while the remaining 1% said they did not know or did not answer.
The level of approval and disapproval remained unchanged from the last survey of February, highlighted the consultant in its analysis. The balance of the president then continues to be positive and 11%.
The data, according to Equipos, shows a “recovery of the trials against the president after the pronounced drop in the last quarter of last year.” In this sense, the consultant recalled that the evaluations “had almost reached a breakeven point” with a positive balance of 1%, since approval was 39% and disapproval 38%. That was the lowest point for the president since he took office on March 1, 2020.
The president is the one with the highest approval rating at this point in the term compared to previous presidents. Lacalle Pou has two points more than the approval figures that Tabaré Vázquez had (during his first term) and José Mujica.
The president is more accepted among the male public (50% approval) than in the female public (40%), among inside people (48%) than among Montevideans (40%) and among people with right-wing political ideology (80%) than people from the center (40%) or left (16%).
Regarding socioeconomic class, approval of the current management is more transversal. Lacalle Pou is supported by the upper and upper middle class (46%), the middle class (46%), lower middle (43%) and low (44%).
