75% Of Costa Ricans Believe The Government is Corrupt

A survey by Unimer for La Nacion reveals that three out four Costa Ricans believe the government is corrupt and more than half - 53% - rate the work of Presidenta Laura Chinchilla as "bad".



The Presidenta had a 44% "bad" rating only three months ago, showing that the situation is only getting worse for the country's first woman president and the the worst since she took office some 30 months ago.

Only 13% consider the Presidenta's performance as good, while 35% consider it "normal".

The survey also reveals that 42% of Costa Ricans believe the government is "inefficiently managed", while 32% believe "it does know how to resolve the problems of the country".

The survey was taken between July 5 and 11 and took in the response of 1.200 people across the country and has a margin of error of 2.8%.
