El Salvador’s Bitcoin President Receives 91% Approval Rating
A recent survey conducted by La Prensa Grafica (LPG) — one of the leading daily newspapers in El Salvador — revealed that President Nayib Bukele received an approval rating of 91%. Despite the media outlet being known for its opposition to the current political regime in the Central American country, the leader expressed doubt that the survey results might be even higher.
Rising Popularity
Having assumed office in June 2019, El Salvador’s President has garnered one of the highest approval ratings globally. Previous data indicated that around 85% of Salvadorans were content with his leadership. Of those surveyed, less than 7% disapproved of Bukele’s governing while 2.1% did not offer an answer.
The poll also showed that Bukele’s popularity surged with mostly young people who aspired to a higher economic standard of living. Partiprimarilys cited his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, enhancing the health sector, constructing highway infrastructure and implementing reforms in education as some of his most noteworthy accomplishments in recent years.
Investing In Crypto
Besides significantly investing in crypto, Bukele has said that Bitcoin has rebranded El Salvador’s national image and helped with tourism. One example is at El Zonte beach area (also known as Bitcoin Beach), which has attracted many Bitcoin maxis like Max and Stacy Herbet — former Russia Today financial news hosts who are now advisors to President Bukele.
The president took to Twitter to share the survey results, stating that they could be even higher given La Prensa Grafica’s previously criticism towards him and his policies.
Rebranding National Image
Bukele believes that through investing significantly in crypto, it has allowed for a rebranding of their national image while boosting tourism at areas such as El Zonte beach area (also known as Bitcoin Beach). This beach area attracted many Bitcoin maxis like Max and Stacy Herbert – former Russia Today financial news hosts – who are now advisors for President Bukeles himself.
Survey ResultsPresident Nayib Bukles was very pleased with these results from this survey from LPG – one of leading daily newspaper outlets in EI Salvador – claiming 91% approval rate despite this newspaper typically opposing this political regime within their country; even suggesting these numbers may be even higher then what was reported! Furthermore, it stated how younger generations have been inspired by Bukles‘ efforts towards improved economic standards throughout their society!
