Opinion polling on the Nayib Bukele presidency

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Opinion polling has been conducted in El Salvador since September 2019, three months after President Nayib Bukele took office on 1 June 2019, to gauge public opinion of Bukele and his government. Despite negative reception from outside of El Salvador,[1][2][3] domestically, Bukele is considered to be one of the most popular presidents in Salvadoran history[4] as his approval ratings generally hover around 90 percent.[5][6]
