In presidential democracies, public opinion is thought to constrain the executive through elections and protests. However, citizens' ability to make considered judgments about presidents and hold them accountable is unclear. I examine how citizens evaluate presidents in Latin America in three interrelated chapters. I first investigate how political conversation shapes citizens' candidate preference during presidents' regular time in office. Using panel data from Brazilian president Lula da Silva's first term, I find that political conversation with disagreeing partners induces preference change among presidential supporters and opposition supporters. Second, I analyze the effect of presidential discourse on public attitudes about measures that undermine checks on the executive. Public opinion data from 18 Latin American countries shows that populist discourse is associated with increasing tolerance of actions that undermine presidential accountability. Third, I interrogate the relationship between populist discourse and attitudes about checks on the executive with a survey experiment fielded in Ecuador. I find that populist discourse and corruption accusations increase support for an executive closing and governing without the legislature. Moreover, I find evidence that these frames discourage protest against executives who undermine checks and balances. These chapters point to the influence of two factors, political conversation and elite discourse, that shape citizens' ability to hold presidents accountable in Latin America.
