The unfavorable result represents an increase of nine percentage points compared to the January 16 survey of the same company.
Castillo, who took office on July 28 for a five-year term, began his term with 45% disapproval amid ideological polarization and questions about his unprecedented electoral victory in Peru.
The approval of Pedro Castillo fell to 25% against 33% in January, while 6% avoided evaluating the presidential work, according to Ipsos.
The negative evaluation of the president, a teacher and trade unionist, has provoked calls for the resignation of the right-wing parliamentary opposition and ordinary Peruvians, which the president has ruled out.
According to Ipsos, 56% of those surveyed believe that Pedro Castillo should resign, while 42% maintain that his term should end in July 2026. 2% do not specify their position.
“That the president has a high disapproval reflects the precariousness of his administration, and this without counting that in the Congress it does not have a majority,” observed political scientist Kathy Zegarra quoted by the newspaper El Comercio, which published the poll.
The rejection of Pedro Castillo continues to be greater in Lima (84%) than in the rest of the country (62%). The capital of Peru is home to a third of the electorate and the national elites.
Harassed by the opposition and the struggles for quotas of power in the ruling left-wing coalition, the president has just appointed a new ministerial cabinet, the fourth since coming to power. A record in a country that seems to live in permanent crisis for five years due to clashes between the Executive and Legislative.
The survey, with a margin of error of +/- 2.8%, consulted 1,214 elderly people between February 10 and 11 in various cities in Peru.
Pedro Castillo, 52, won the last elections last June at the head of a small Marxist-Leninist party with 50.12% of the vote, in a close ballot against the right-wing Keiko fujimori.
