V According to the survey by the National Consulting Center, published by Cambio magazine, the president’s disapproval rating stands at 38.4 percent (marking a drop of 3.7 percentage points), while seven percent of those interviewed did not know or did not answer the question.

The study was conducted between February 23 and 28, 2016, through in-person surveys in homes and telephone interviews with 2,187 people distributed across 62 municipalities in seven regions of the country.

The head of state, who has five months left in office, highlighted the results of the survey on his Twitter account.

“Thank you, people of Colombia. I will leave the government happy and will write a few things,” he wrote.

Another poll conducted by the firm Invamer, meanwhile, revealed four days ago that the president’s approval rating stands at 49.1 percent, 11 points higher than the previous measurement taken in November 2015.

This latter survey was conducted between February 11 and 22 with 3,800 interviews in 147 municipalities across the country.
