Latest polling from Activa shows the approval rating of President Gabriel Boric continuing to fall amidst tough economic conditions and a soaring crimewave that has hit the Latin American nation.
- Activa/Pulso Ciudadano poll: Approval rate of the government of Gabriel Boric (CS,) Approve: 24.3% (-8.5), Disapprove: 56.4% (+6.1), Don't know: 19.3% (+2.4) (+/- vs. 6-10 Jun) Fieldwork: 20-24 June 2022. Sample size: 1,005
- Boric's falling approval ratings has become tied to support (or lack thereof) for the new Chilean constitution proposed by the Constitutional Convention. With the referendum on the constitution coming on 4 September, the administration (which supports the new constitution) will have its work cut out in convincing Chileans to support the changes, no matter their opinion's on President Boric's leadership.
