Factum Survey: 46% of Uruguayans Disapprove of Yamandú Orsi's Management as President, 29% Approve

A recent public opinion poll conducted by Factum reveals a challenging landscape for President Yamandú Orsi's administration, with a significant portion of Uruguayans expressing disapproval of his performance. The survey data, presented by Factum director Eduardo Bottinelli, indicates that 46% of respondents disapprove of Orsi's management, contrasted with 29% who approve, resulting in a net negative saldo of -17%.

The climate of approval for the president's management presents a negative saldo, in a process of systematic decline in approval and increase in disapproval.

This decline in approval is not confined to a single demographic. The report highlights a systematic decrease in approval and a corresponding rise in disapproval across various voter bases, including those who previously supported the ruling coalition and, more recently, voters of the Frente Amplio. This trend suggests a broader dissatisfaction that transcends traditional political alignments.

Approval in Montevideo is 8 percentage points higher than in the interior, while disapproval is 10 percentage points higher in the interior than in Montevideo.

Geographical and age-related differences also emerged in the survey. Disapproval is more pronounced in rural areas than in Montevideo, and younger Uruguayans (18-33 years) exhibit the lowest approval ratings and the highest levels of disapproval. The data further breaks down support among those who voted for the Frente Amplio in the 2024 elections, showing a majority approving Orsi's management, while a stark majority of those who voted for the Republican Coalition parties express strong disapproval. This detailed analysis provides a critical snapshot of the current political sentiment in Uruguay, as captured by Factum's rigorous polling methodology.

The youngest (18 to 33 years) are those who register lower levels of approval and higher levels of neither approval nor disapproval, and in this measurement they also show the highest levels of disapproval.
