Nayib Bukele Maintains 90% Approval Rating, Declares El Salvador "Safe Again"
President Nayib Bukele boasts a 90% approval rating, claiming his policies have turned El Salvador from the most dangerous country into a safe nation.
El Salvador, March 17, 2025 – El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele continues to enjoy an approval rating exceeding 90%, the highest of any world leader, according to recent polls.
During a speech on Monday, Bukele highlighted his administration’s success in cracking down on gang violence, which previously made El Salvador one of the world’s most dangerous nations.
"We have given freedom back to the people, transforming El Salvador from the most dangerous country into a safe place," Bukele stated.
Since launching his zero-tolerance security policies, including mass arrests of gang members and the construction of a mega-prison, crime rates have plummeted to historic lows. His approach has drawn both praise and criticism—while many Salvadorans feel safer, human rights organizations have raised concerns about mass detentions and due process violations.
Despite the controversies, Bukele’s popularity remains unmatched, reinforcing his influence both domestically and internationally as a leader who prioritizes security above all else.
