Berlusconi’s approval rating slips after prostitutes scandal
Berlusconi’s credibility is under attack just when he is about to host a summit of G8 leaders, and he has had to spend his time defending his private life and denying that he paid for sex.
The 72-year-old media tycoon had an approval rating of 49.1% in a new opinion poll by ISPO for Corriere della Sera newspaper published yesterday. The pollsters compared that to his average of 51% for the first five months of 2009.
