(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Salvadoran president Antonio Saca continues to be highly popular, according to a poll by Consulta Mitofsky released by TCS. 61.6 per cent of respondents approve of Saca’s performance, practically unchanged since June.

Saca—a media businessman—was elected in March 2004 as the candidate for the ruling conservative Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA), garnering 57.73 per cent of the vote. ARENA candidates have won the last four presidential elections in the Central American country. Saca is ineligible for a consecutive term in office.

On Jul. 13, Saca promised a review of the Central American country’s pension system, saying, "Our seniors cannot see their pensions remaining static while the cost of living goes up. For that reason, I have ordered a study on the amount we pay for pensions, and we are considering paying a solidarity amount for those who do not receive a pension."
