Yamandú Orsi approval reaches record low in Uruguay

A new survey by Equipos Consultores indicates that President Yamandú Orsi has reached his lowest approval rating since the beginning of his administration. According to the data released on November 5, 52% of Uruguayans disapprove of his performance, while only 24% approve.

The survey shows a significant decline in support compared to previous months. In August, approval stood at 28% with 51% disapproval. By October, approval dropped to 24% and disapproval rose to 52%, resulting in a negative balance of 28 points. This marks a sharp contrast to April 2025, when Orsi held a 41% approval rating and only 14% disapproval.

While the survey does not isolate a single cause for the decline, the data suggests a trend of increasing dissatisfaction. The report notes that while Orsi may maintain personal sympathy, his management is facing growing criticism, potentially linked to economic factors and security concerns.
