I talked to cab driver in Texas this winter who was from El Salvador , he thinks ithat guy is the shit and is moving back to retire. The cab driver said it really changed the game for the people of El Salvador.

I don't know much about the methods they used, but the results are hard to argue with.
I'm highly skeptical of the guilty by association nature of what they've done, but I think there's also some room for that sort of thing in specific situations. MS13 members don't exactly hide their affiliation.
Like anything else, there's a lot of slippery slope when trying to pass blanket legislation to deal with a nuanced problem. From what I've seen it looks like they took some common sense steps to deal with the problem without replacing them with a state sponsored police state that's just as bad. But I haven't really looked into it beyond the surface level.

I've seen popularity polls from El Salvador that give Bukele Saddam Hussein-like approval ratings. How accurate they are, no idea.

I imagine fairly accurate. He did take one of, if not the most dangerous countries in South America, if not the world and turned it into one of the safest inside a couple years.
Generally speaking, people value safety over liberty and it hasn't been long enough for them to see any long term affects. Time will tell how his policies age. But between him and Millei it's nice to see some positive change in SA without Pinochet like methods to achieve it.
