Polls: Support for Chavez government falling
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Public support for President Hugo Chavez's government has significantly declined, according to two polls published on Tuesday.
Some 34% of Venezuelans surveyed said they support Chavez's government, down from a high of 67% in early 2005, to the lowest level in five years, a quarterly survey of 2,000 Venezuelans by Caracas pollster Datos found.
The poll was published by the Caracas-based newspaper El Nacional, which said it had a margin of error of 2.2 percentage points and was carried out last month in cities and towns representing 75% of Venezuela's population.
