According to the latest survey conducted by the polling firm Hinterlaces, 66 percent of Venezuelans approve the job performance of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. The poll was conducted from April 10 to 18 of this year with a representative sample of 1,529 people.

Oscar Schemel, the president of Hinterlaces, highlighted the importance of the fact that the poll used a representative sample from across the different social classes.

“We have a data base of over 12 million telephone numbers, which allows us to have an important penetration in all the [social] strata,” he said.

The poll also highlights that two out of three Venezuelans have an excellent appreciation of the policies developed by the Bolivarian Government and its leader.

The president of Hinterlaces said that the poll also shows a “sharp growth from the months subsequent to the parliamentary elections. There is favorable growth.”
