Abstract

The article focuses on the rising political support for Colombian opposition presidential candidate Miguel Uribe following an assassination attempt on his life. His approval rating surged by 24 points to 57%, making him the most favorably viewed politician in a recent survey, while disapproval of President Gustavo Petro increased to 63.3%. Uribe remains in critical condition after being shot during a rally, an event that has heightened concerns about political violence and insecurity in Colombia. With a presidential election approaching in May 2026, the evolving political landscape is influenced by public sentiment regarding corruption and safety. [Extracted from the article]
