Factum Poll Finds 55% Disapprove of Yamandú Orsi’s Performance, 26% Approve

President Yamandú Orsi’s approval rating has stopped falling, but it remains deeply negative, according to Factum’s latest poll. Fifty-five percent of respondents disapprove of his performance, while 26% approve and 19% neither approve nor disapprove.

The result gives Orsi an approval balance of minus 29 points. Approval increased by two points between the third and fourth two-month measurements, following a cumulative 13-point decline between the first and third. Factum said the movement remains within the margin of error, making a pause in the decline a more appropriate description than a change in trend.

The shift was concentrated among Frente Amplio voters. Approval in that group rose from 52% to 56%, while disapproval fell from 23% to 19%. Among voters for parties that formed the Coalition Republican, approval remained at 2%, the neutral share fell from 12% to 11%, and disapproval increased from 86% to 87%.

The poll was conducted from Aug. 1 to Aug. 16, 2026, using a sample of 900 people reached by mobile telephone. Despite the slight improvement, Orsi remains near the lowest approval levels recorded since he took office. Approval among his own voters also remains below its levels during 2025.
