Laura Chinchilla’s two-month track record as Costa Rican president has earned her a 64 percent approval rating, according to CID-Gallup, not quite as high as her colleagues in Panama and El Salvador, but on par with that of her predecessor Oscar Arias when he left office.
She assumed the reins of the country in May with 46.7 percent of the vote. And while her closest competitor in the election trailed behind her by 20 percentage points, a series of events in the first few weeks may give the reason for her runner-up status to El Salvadorian President Mauricio Funes (76 percent) and Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli (66 percent).
