Poll Shows AMLO Disapproval Rating Highest Since Inauguration

MEXICO
  • President AMLO’s disapproval reached 46% in February, the highest since the beginning of his term, according to an El Financiero poll published Wednesday. (BBG)
    • Approval rate stood at 54% in February, without variations compared to the previous month.
    • The majority of those polled have a negative opinion regarding the management of the economy, with 51% disapproving despite the favorable opinion going up from 31% to 34% in the last month.
  • For reference, general elections are scheduled to be held in Mexico in July 2024. Though the vote remains far off and AMLO cannot be re-elected, the growing divide between the president’s Morena party and the opposition has become notable in recent weeks.
