The love affair of Mexicans with the president continues 100 days after her arrival to power, with approval percentages reaching 80%, four points more than just a month ago. There are not many elements yet to qualify a good government, but nor to criticize it, so that citizens feel satisfied with the vote they cast in the elections, which raised Claudia Sheinbaum as the person with the most votes in the country's recent history. . “A huge disaster would have to have occurred for a person who received so many votes to lose support in such a short time,” says Heidi Osuna, director of Enkoll, the house that carried out this survey for EL PAÍS and W Radio between the 3rd and the January 5 through 1,203 interviews in homes. The retrospective vote is always higher than the real vote, that is, when people are asked who they voted for in the previous elections, the majority side with the winner. That is also what happens now with Sheinbaum. And whoever lost the most, the most preferences are taken away. It's the Matthew effect.
Why is her approval rate less with more educated Mexicans? Just a class thing?
Yeah mainly a class thing, higher attained level of education for the most part leads to people more socially liberal like in the eeuu. However education is still being made more readily available to younger people so older people who got a full education usually grew up during the PRI and PAN years so they have especially very much more right wing. The PRI and PAN also spent their years telling educated city folk that the narco problem was a problem in the cities in order to justify the war on drugs and have only further increased state violence against all, but now that MORENA has come into power their general strategy on the cartel is sweeping education reform especially in the rural parts where traffickers mainly come from in the hopes of preventing new drug traffickers.
