Who Does Mexico Approves Of The Most? Fox, Calderon or Peña?

Public opinion is still subject to change

MEXICO.- Each year, the GEA-ISA poll shows us the new approval numbers for both sitting and former presidents, comparing their political careers and predicting future ones.

Through these surveys, public opinion has revealed that Mexico's current president, Enrique Peña Nieto features among the lowest in popularity in history, and furthermore, they've calculated that he may hold the worst index of citizen reproach in Mexico, comparing his percentages with former presidents Vicente Fox, Felipe Calderón and Ernesto Zedillo in the same presidential stages.

His approval numbers are also the lowest ones in history, even when his popularity "increase" of three points during the last week was taken into consideration, going from 41% to 44% on this year's first trimester, according to data from the First National Survey of Citizen Opinion of 2015, taken by Animal Político.

Here, the poll compares Mexico's last three presidents at the same stage of their administration, and Vicente Fox had only two more points of approval than Peña Nieto while Felipe Calderón had ten.

The problem appears to be that during Peña's three years of ruling, respondents can't match the president with an achievement that makes him stand out among his predecessors. At least 34.9% seems to think so, against the 12.3% who think differently, saying that education has been his "biggest success" during his administration.

GEA-ISA's political analysis also points out the main problem that (according to the respondents) should be a priority for Peña Nieto if he aspires any chance of fighting the collective rejection that pursues him. Poverty was a recurrent subject that 27% placed as a top priority, followed by unemployment with 25% and 20% requesting an increase on minimum wage. These are some of these options worth changing the President view on things?
