Correa Has 90 Percent Public Approval Rating

April 17, 2013

Quito, April 17 (Prensa Latina) President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, has 90 percent public support, which puts him first in a survey regarding two dozen leaders of the region.

Mexican consulting firm Mitofsky, cited by the newspaper The Telegraph, noted that this assessment is a measure of the work done by presidents or prime ministers.

He noted that South America is the region that has a better average evaluation of the management of its leaders, with 56 percent approval.

President Danilo Medina, of the Dominican Republic, garnered 89 percent approval and the late president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, had an approval rating of 84 percent.

He added that the approval rate is not only the highest obtained by Correa, it is also the largest ever recorded in Ecuador since 2003 for this type of evaluation.

1. Good for Correa and all of South America.

Instead of looking down our noses at Latin America we ought to look to them for example, at least on some issues.
When we focused our attention on the Middle East, under W, Latin America had an opportunity to run elections not engineered and rigged by the CIA. One after the other they have elected men and women, who grew up under the yoke of American puppet Dictators, and who envisioned and have attempted to enact reforms that made their countries more fair and just.

2. Bravo! We do know, however, this won't stop the US from trying to destroy Correa, too!

May he find a way to protect himself.

Great news, and it doesn't come as a shock, considering his abilities and his history.

He's got some nasty enemies in Ecuador, and at US oil companies, etc. Hope they will all find good hobbies so he can go about bringing desperately needed change to his country after all the long years of bondage to the oligarchs.

3. If that's the case, he must be an enemy of Amurica.
