SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Chilean President Michelle Bachelet's approval rating fell to an all-time low in June amid widening student unrest, the resignation of her cabinet chief and a sluggish economy, a survey by pollster GfK Adimark showed on Wednesday.

Her support slumped to 22 percent in June from 24 percent in May, a trend that may hurt Bachelet as she tries to push through a range of reforms. Her rating was the lowest for any president since Adimark started the polling series in 2006, when Bachelet first assumed office for a four-year term.
