Sumario:Previous research has highlighted that changes in levels of political trust are related to the performance of governments. The effort to explain this thesis has led to the theory of performance. This approach holds that institu­tions that perform well are trusted; those that malfunction generate mistrust. This study uses data from a lapop survey in three specific periods (2014, 2016, and 2018) to examine how performance (economic and governmental) deter­mines trust in the figure of the Colombian president. The findings suggest that performance explains fluctuations in confidence in the Executive.
