Overview
- CB Consultora’s regional survey, published Tuesday, puts Nayib Bukele first at 70.1% approval and Mexico’s Claudia Sheinbaum at 69.8%, with Costa Rica’s Rodrigo Chaves third at 59.5%.
- Peru’s interim leader José María Balcázar ranks last at 17.9% approval, followed by Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodríguez at 27.5%.
- The poll was conducted February 10–15 with 40,528 respondents across national samples of 2,001 to 2,701 at a 95% confidence level and a ±1.9–2.2% margin of error per country.
- Results differ from March’s CB Global Data ranking, which had Sheinbaum first at 72.3% and Bukele second at 71.8%, underscoring variation between pollsters and field dates.
- Context around the numbers includes Bukele’s hard-line security drive and contested consecutive term, Chaves’s handover set for May 8, and low early ratings for interim or newly appointed leaders.
