In this photo taken Aug. 11, 2010, clothes hang to dry in the backyard of a shack in Catia, one of the poorest slums in Caracas, Venezuela. Ever since President Hugo Chavez took office 11 years ago, the poor have been his base, and they were encouraged by five years of oil-fueled economic growth that lifted millions above the poverty line from 2004 to 2008. The poorest still stand behind him, but support for Chavez has been eroding in the past two years as more Venezuelans grow frustrated with recession, 30-percent annual inflation, bad public services and rampant crime.
