Claudia Sheinbaum has higher approval ratings than Lopez Obrador after first year in office

"Claudia Sheinbaum shines in her own right as president of Mexico. The first woman to hold the executive office enjoys strong approval after her first year in office, surpassing her predecessor and mentor, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, with a 78% rating. By comparison, Lopez Obrador had a 72% approval rating in his first year and reached 77% when leaving office, according to an Enkoll survey for EL PAIS and W Radio."

"Her approval rating has not fallen below 75% during that time, according to a survey conducted last week with a thousand people across the country. Her peak popularity came in May, when she enjoyed 83% support in a month marked by constant U.S. pressure against Mexican agricultural imports, the harassment of undocumented Mexicans in the United States, and U.S. investigations into local politicians in Baja California, including Morena Governor Marina del Pilar Avila."

Claudia Sheinbaum became Mexico's first woman president and recorded a 78% approval rating after one year, higher than her predecessor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's 72% at a comparable point. Sheinbaum has outpaced the last four presidents since 2000 and consolidated the Morena party's dominant position while advancing the social agenda set by Lopez Obrador. Her approval never fell below 75% during the year in a nationwide Enkoll survey of one thousand people. Her peak support reached 83% in May amid U.S. pressure on Mexican agricultural imports and investigations into Baja California politicians. Support remains broad across education levels, strongest among those with basic schooling.
