LIMA (Reuters) - Peruvian President Ollanta Humala's popularity rose 4 points for the second month in a row in August, climbing from a record low in June to reach 29 percent after a tough-talking minister was appointed to tackle crime, according to poll results on Sunday.

Humala named Daniel Urresti, a retired military general, his sixth interior minister on June 29 in a surprise cabinet shake-up after his approval rating slipped to a three-year low of 21 percent.
