Chilean President Gabriel Boric’s approval rating rose to the highest in a year after the former student protest leader said he will insist on tax increases to fund a long list of social programs.
Roughly 41% of people support Boric, up from 31% in the previous reading, according to a weekly Cadem poll published late on Sunday. The president’s standing improved among all population segments, with double-digit increases among women, youth and the middle class.
