AmericasBarometer Insights offers a troubling look at Honduras today, based on a survey of citizens.
“In 2013, Honduras faces many of the same problems it faced in 2009. Some problems, in fact, have worsened.
“By many measures, crime, political polarization, institutional weakness, impunity and corruption have gotten worse. The erosion in political and institutional stability is reflected in the significant increase of triply dissatisfied citizens.
“More than a third of Hondurans are triply dissatisfied. That is, more than a third of Hondurans simultaneously do not support democracy, do not support national institutions, and disapprove of the government’s economic performance.
