Chart of the Day

Via IKN, we see the latest polls from Bolivia. The big takeaway is Evo is going to win in a landslide and that the opposition is badly divided. It upsets people that Evo has focused much of his energy on improving the lot of Bolivia’s many indigenous communities. That was part of the push for the new constitution that came into effect this year. And Evo upsets Americans because he is a buddy of Chavez and gets carried away with anti-imperialism rhetoric. But the fact of the matter is that he has the support of a clear majority of the population, and I’ve never read anywhere that recent elections in Bolivia have been marred by fraud.
