Claudia Sheinbaum Increases Her Popularity in Mexico

Claudia Sheinbaum's image seems to have strengthened amid the trade war with the United States and the discourse crossover with Donald Trump. In the latest poll by the Brazilian consultancy Atlas Intel with the Bloomberg agency, Mexican presidential approval stands at 62 percent, an increase of 0.4 percent compared to the previous month.

Regarding Sheinbaum's image, it currently hovers around 70 points (68%), placing her as the leader with the best image in the country, above AMLO (66%) and Marcelo Ebrard (58%). This increase in Sheinbaum's image is particularly reflected when Mexicans are asked about their perception of the Head of State.

The level of disapproval towards Sheinbaum has notably decreased, standing at around 34.7%, nearly two points less than in January. Regarding the evaluation of the government, 57.4% rate it as excellent or very good, while 32.2% consider it bad or very bad.

A noteworthy aspect is that more than half of Mexicans reject Donald Trump, which aligns with the high approval of Claudia Sheinbaum. Additionally, over 60% of respondents view Sheinbaum's management positively in the first part of her term.

In the survey, 61.4% of Mexicans identified corruption as the main problem in the country, followed by insecurity, crime, and drug trafficking (49.7%), impunity in the judicial system (30.7%), and inflation (27.3%). Furthermore, 41% of Mexicans believe that the left is the ideological field with the best proposals to solve the country's problems, such as combating crime.

In this context, Sheinbaum stands out as a leader with high acceptance and a favorable public image, despite challenges such as tensions with the United States and interactions with Donald Trump. The data reflects a rise in popularity and approval towards the presidential figure of Mexico.
