MERCOPRESS/ President Jose Pepe Mujica's public opinion approval is at a record high after his first 100 days in office at 74%, about 13 and 16 percentage points more than his two immediate predecessors Tabare Vazquez and Jorge Batlle. The 74% is also higher than the below 50% Mujica won in the first presidential electoral round in October 2009, which forced him into a run-off a month later. The former rebel recently declared his entire net wealth to be only an $1,800 USD VW.
