South America’s first female president, Michel Bachelet, inaugurated with the support of 65,3% of the Chilean population, says a poll published and produced by national newspaper El Mercurio. That is almost 12 points more than the 53,5% of votes that took her to the presidency. The survey also found that more than 85% of Chileans expect her to perform as well or better than her predecessor, Ricardo Lagos.
