Survey shows Torrijos is doing a “bad” job

President Martín Torrijos's fell sharply from last April to this month.

According to a survey taken at the request of La Prensa and administered to 204,000 people by the international research firm Unimer, 61 percent of those interviewed said they thought Torrijos was doing a “bad” or “very bad” job as president. Only 34 percent of the respondents said he was doing a “good” or “excellent” job. Those numbers represent a drop of more than 17 percentage points in two months.

In a survey undertaken last April, 45 percent of the respondents said they thought the president was doing a “good” or “excellent” job. Torrijos's bad ratings are at their worst in the last year.
