The race to approve or reject Chile's new constitution in September enters its final weeks as the "no" vote remains in the lead and progressive President Gabriel Boric and his government has taken a more active role in the race.

According to poll released Sunday by Cadem, 38% of voters plan to approve the new text, up from a low of 33% in late June. Despite weeks of gaining support, the "yes" vote dropped 1 point compared to last week and still trails those planning to reject by 10 points.
