Chilean President José Antonio Kast approval decline

Overview

Chilean President José Antonio Kast has experienced a significant decline in public approval. Early September 2026 polling from Cadem and Agenda Criteria placed his approval ratings between 30% and 34%, with disapproval reaching as high as 61%.

This downturn is linked to economic concerns, including a 1.5% contraction in the monthly activity index (Imacec) in July 2026, as well as dissatisfaction regarding security and employment. Subsequent data from the Criteria poll indicated his approval had fallen to 30%, with 51% of respondents describing the national economy as “bad” and perceiving the government as improvising on job creation and growth.
