Suddenly...once highly popular President Jose Mujica's popularity...has gone up in smoke...and down to 39%.
Observers blame it on his controversial proposal to legalize marijuana...disputes with Argentina...the acceptance of Venezuela into Mercosur...and the exclusion of Paraguay.
The 77-year-old former guerrilla won office with high approval...and garnered a 47% approval in April polling.
