Polls: Chavez's popularity Slips in Venezuela

Hugo Chavez's support has declined in the polls as many Venezuelans say they are fed up with 27 percent inflation, a stagnant economy, faulty public services — and a government they see as incapable of doing much about it.

The president's popularity has slid in monthly tracking polls from a high of 61 percent after winning a vote in February to 52.8 percent last month, pollster Luis Vicente Leon of the Caracas-based firm Datanalisis said Wednesday, adding that the downward trend in the percentage who view his presidency positively has continued since.

After more than a decade in power, Chavez is still by far the country's most popular, most resilient and most divisive politician. What appears to have changed recently is that more are complaining about the high cost of living and a government that has often fallen far short of its promises.

Chavez should establish USA citizenship, then run for Congress in Mass, NY, or CA. He would win big!

Soon Chavez will point out that all pollsters play golf.

“fed up with 27 percent inflation, a stagnant economy, faulty public services — and a government they see as incapable of doing much about it.”

Does Penn have any comment?
Or for that matter what does Zero think about his pals decline.
But the banana repubs get rid of their leaders in a different way..especially when they KNOW the crazy fascist will NOT allow another ELECTION.

That's the true face of socialism. Equality of misery. Chavez can't do any thing to get people to be more productive or help the country reverse its decline.

Unless We The People take action, because you know the politicians in office won’t, “inflation, a stagnant economy, faulty public services” will be the USA which is what Obama is seeking.

Rasmussen reports(2012):

Obama's support has declined in the polls as many Americans say they are fed up with 27 percent inflation, a stagnant economy, faulty public services — and a government they see as incapable of doing much about it.

There. I think this looks more accurate....

Ahhhhh. The peoples paradise.

Where everybody is equal.
Equally up to their nostrils in poverty.

And the best part is it gets better.
Or is that worse?

Communists never worry about polls. That’s why the Democrats are so envious of them.

But they are fed up with a permanent government. Now they can't do anything about it.
