Tracking poll: 59% of Portuguese disapprove of Montenegro's performance

CNN Portugal7 September 2026 at 19:20

According to a weekly poll by CNN Portugal, 59% of Portuguese disapprove of Montenegro's performance. This is a negative indicator for the prime minister, suggesting that more than half of the Portuguese population is not satisfied with his performance in office.

CNN Portugal conducts weekly polls to assess Portuguese opinion on the Government and the country's main political figures and parties. This type of tracking allows monitoring the evolution of political leaders' popularity over time.

Montenegro's high disapproval level emerges in a context where the poll also assesses other political parties and figures, thus offering a broader view of the Portuguese political landscape. This data may represent a challenge for the Executive as it indicates a loss of popular support.
