Peru’s Dina Boluarte saw her approval rating fall to a new low, with only 5% of people indicating they supported the president amid the nation’s political upheavals.
A poll published Sunday showed that Boluarte’s rating in May was the worst since she took charge of the Latin American country in late 2022, with 90% of those surveyed now saying that they disapproved of her government. The dwindling support for the president since she took office following the impeachment of Pedro Castillo has been accompanied by similar disapproval of the country’s congress.
