The latest public approval poll from Cadem has shown an increase in the approval rating of Chile’s newly elected president, Gabriel Boric. The poll has found that his approval currently stands at 59%, up from the 52% he received in November.
Boric’s policies aimed towards youth-oriented issues such as education, housing, and healthcare are believed to have contributed to this boost in his popularity. The poll also showed that the president’s leadership in handling the COVID-19 pandemic has been appreciated by the population.
Interestingly, Cadem’s survey also revealed an increase in the disapproval of Chile’s congress, which currently has only a 19% approval rating. This may reflect a growing sentiment of disappointment towards congress’s inability to pass essential bills and drive meaningful change.
The increase in President Boric’s popularity is significant, as it indicates a potential shift in Chile’s political landscape. Boric’s progressive policies have inspired many young Chileans to engage in democratic processes actively. This could make room for alternative and innovative solutions to the country’s problems.
Overall, the poll results may serve as a reflection of the citizens’ hopes for change in Chile. The country is currently grappling with several significant challenges such as the aftermath of social unrest and the economic downturn caused by the pandemic. It is a crucial time for the country and its leaders to drive meaningful and lasting change.
