Peru’s embattled president achieved the lowest ratings of her career this month, dropping to an abysmal 1.3% approval rating.
President Dina Boluarte’s approval ratings have been steadily declining, starting the year with a dismal 4% approval rating and constantly decreasing each month by approximately 0.5%. Women approve of her slightly more than men, recording a 1.5% approval rate as opposed to the 1% of men who approve of her.
Boluarte has the worst approval rating among those aged 30-59, with only 0.9% approving of her.
The poll, conducted by El Centro de Investigación Territorial Peru, was conducted by interviewers going door-to-door and uses a sample size of 1,200 people ages 18-70. The poll claims to represent all social and economic classes.
Boluarte ascended to the presidency in December 2022 when her running mate and predecessor, Pedro Castillo, was impeached and arrested on charges of alleged rebellion, according to CNN World. Before Castillo was impeached, she vowed to leave office if he were removed, according to La República. She is the first woman to hold the office and was elected vice president as a member of Peru’s Marxist party, Free Peru, though she has since distanced herself from their platform, according to the New York Times. While she was vice president, she was also the minister for development and social inclusion, according to the BBC.
Shortly after Boluarte became president, the Ayacucho massacre occurred, killing 10 people and injuring 61, after protestors tried to take the airport. The attorney general of Peru opened an investigation into Boluarte for alleged genocide and aggravated homicide, and two human rights groups have requested the International Criminal Court to open an investigation into Boluarte, according to La República and CNN.
