Peru pollster DATUM International today published its monthly approval number for President Ollanta Humala and with a 58% thumbs-up, the dude has added eight points to his tally and is kickin' trasero bigtime.
Add that 54% of Peruvian are happy about the way the Ollanta government is running the economy, which is a much bigger number on a national scale than is normally seen (usually you only get overall positives on this from the Lima middle class). Also good to see the annoying Keiko only getting 32% approval, mainly because people are fed up with her incessant whining about her father. Who's in jail cos he deserves it and isn't dying of cancer.

That sure is a pretty big change from last year's "OMG Humala's a baby-eating communist" rhetoric, eh? I bet even you didn't suspect back then that he could be so good.
He and Juanma Santos of Colombia have been two recent and pleasant surprises. They've both moved to the centre by impressive amounts, just one from the left and one from the right.
And Castilla is turning into a really good FinMin, another surprise.
Anyone who really followed his campaign and knew the guy is not surprised. The media pumped him up to be another Chavez which he is not, lets hope he continues helping both the poor and rich.
Well Anon, that's bullshit. You can hide behind the "media pumped him up" bit if you like but his campaign 2006 to 2011 was hardline left wing. Once he'd got thru the 1st round and immediately (that same night) began to call for consensus the change happened and it's one that surprised everyone, those close to him and commetating on the campaign. So STFU, yeah? It surprised Tapia, it surprised Jiménez and i severely doubt you're either one of them or that you were "closer" to him than they were. Asi vete a la concha de tu madre.
