President Mauricio Funes recently admitted that he is aware of citizen disappointment with his administration, but that he is confident that he is doing what he can with limited time and resources. He also said that the next administration will have the opportunity to carry out the reforms that he campaigned upon and began implementing during his term.
Well, Salvadorans have been pretty patient with the president. Neither the economic situation nor the security situation improved during his first two years in office, yet his approval rating had remained well over 60% the entire time (as high as 80%). The most recent poll, however, saw his numbers in free fall down to 41%. The honeymoon is over.
I don't know about you but it seems rather odd to talk about your successor fulfilling your campaign promises when you have another three years remaining in office.
