The same poll put Orsi's approval at 24% and disapproval at 56%, his worst reading since taking office
For 49% of Uruguayans surveyed, Yamandú Orsi's government is performing below the expectations they held at the start of the administration, according to the latest poll by the consultancy Factum, covering the third two-month period of 2026. The study, with fieldwork conducted between June 2 and 20 and released by VTV Noticias, shows a sustained deterioration in perceptions of the government since the beginning of the term.
Among the remaining respondents, 27% consider that the government is performing as they expected and just 1% believe it is exceeding their expectations. Another 22% said they expected nothing from the current administration, and 1% declined to answer.
Comparison with earlier measurements shows the scale of the shift. In the fourth period of 2025, 45% rated the government's performance as equal to or above their expectations, against 30% who placed it below. In the third period of 2026 that relationship reversed: 28% now place it at or above, and nearly half below.
