A former vice president, Vizcarra took office on March 23 after his predecessor Pedro Pablo Kuczynski resigned in a graft and vote-buying scandal.

The Ipsos survey, published in El Comercio, showed 13% of Peruvians polled disapproved of Vizcarra. But 30% declined to answer — a sign many were still undecided about him.

Most Peruvians could not name Vizcarra two weeks before he was thrust into office in Peru’s worst political crisis in nearly two decades. A civil engineer by training, Vizcarra had been doubling as vice president and Peru’s ambassador to Canada.

Vizcarra has risen to power amid high frustration with elected officials following a graft scandal involving the Brazilian construction conglomerate Odebrecht that has tainted most of the political class.

He must govern Peru, the world’s second-largest copper producer, with the opposition-controlled Congress through 2021.

The poll of 1,289 people was taken on April 10-12 and had a 2.7-percentage point margin of error.

Kuczynski, a former Wall Street banker, also took office with the support of a majority of Peruvians but ended his term with a 19% approval rating.
