President Rafael Correa's almost 70% popularity can be linked to many state funded programs he implemented since his 2006 election.
Before Correa...Ecuador had 6 presidents in just 10 years.
Supported by the high price of oil...its major export...Ecuador spends 10% of GDP...on public investment...more than any other LatAm or Caribe nation.
He calls it '21st century socialism.'
