It appears Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has run out of other people’s money. Just 8 months after his exuberant 60% approval rating at the end of last year after local elections (appealing to the ever-more-impoverished ultra-poor who remain entirely dependent on his ‘fairness’), the socialist leader’s popularity has plunged. As Bloomberg reports, Hinterlaces polling shows only a 39% approval rating (oddly similar to President Obama’s).
