LIMA (Reuters) - Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski's approval rating rose eight points to 30 percent this month after tensions with the opposition-ruled Congress subsided and the national soccer team kept World Cup qualifying hopes alive, an Ipsos poll showed.

Kuczynski's approval rating had dropped to a low of 22 percent in an Ipsos poll last month, when Congress ousted his cabinet in the worst political crisis of his 14-month-old centre-right government. It had been around 30 percent in the months before the crisis.
