Colombia’s president, Juan Manuel Santos, has suffered abysmal approval ratings ever since he came into office in 2010. According to a recent poll, this is mainly because Colombians feel he fails to tackle key social issues.

When Santos took office on August 7, 2010, he did so with an approval rating of approximately 80% he had inherited from his predecessor Alvaro Uribe who enjoyed major approval during his eight years in office.

However, four and a half years later, Colombians with a positive perception of their president make up no more than 42% of the population.

The majority, 56%, has a negative perception of the president they reelected less than a year ago, according to pollster Cifras y Conceptos.

1. Santos has been an abject failure as President of

Colombia. One thing the article fails to mention is the rising insecurity, rapidly approaching the levels of pre-Uribe.
