Latin American political leaders face varying approval ratings in recent polls

Various recent opinion polls across Latin America reveal shifting political landscapes and varying levels of leadership approval.

In Argentina, President Javier Milei faces significant challenges, with multiple studies indicating an approval rating of approximately 35% and a high rejection rate. While some metrics show a slight recovery in management perception, economic dissatisfaction remains high. Meanwhile, regional leaders like Federico Otermín in Lomas de Zamora and Claudio Poggi in San Luis show strong positive image ratings.

In Costa Rica, President Laura Fernández holds a 64% positive rating, though studies suggest a perception of “dual presidentialism” due to the continued influence of former President Rodrigo Chaves, whom 84% of respondents believe exerts some level of influence on current decisions.

In Uruguay, President Yamandú Orsi maintains a negative net balance, with 28% approval and 51% disapproval, though recent trends show a slight stabilization in these figures.

In Mexico, municipal leader Enrique Galindo Ceballos of San Luis Potosí has been ranked among the best-performing mayors nationally, specifically noted for public services and community proximity.
