He received a 55% good or very good rating by those polled. Worst rated was Nicaraguan President Enrique Bolanos, who according to more than half of Nicaraguans consulted did a bad job. El Salvador's Antonio Saca came in second place with 48% support, followed by Honduran Manuel Zelaya (39%) and Panama's Martin Torrijos (34%). Tied in penultimate position were Guatemala's Oscar Berger and Costa Rica's Abel Pichardo, who got 23%. The latter is no longer President.
