SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Three quarters of Chileans disapprove of Chilean President Sebastian Pinera's management of the country, according to a poll published on Thursday, just days after the center-right septuagenarian suffered a bruising defeat in his bid to hold back a fresh raid on the country's free market pensions system.

The Center for Public Studies (CEP) found just nine percent of the 1,655 people around the country polled between April 12 and 23 said they approved of Pinera's stewardship.
