A new survey shows 53% of Colombian adults rate the government of President Abelardo de la Espriella as good or excellent. The August 2026 Latam Pulse survey by Atlas Intel and Bloomberg polled 1,904 Colombian adults between Aug. 30 and Sept. 3. [^1]

The same survey found 51% of Colombian respondents consider the country's current economic situation bad, while 36% rate it good and 13% do not know. [^2] The read here is that approval for the government remains above half even as a majority of Colombians see the economy negatively, suggesting the president's standing may be tied to factors beyond the economic outlook.
