59% of Mexicans 'Unimpressed' With the Government's Fight Against Corruption, Survey Reveals

Almost six in 10 Mexicans are unimpressed with the efforts of the federal government to combat corruption while two-thirds grade it poorly for its performance on public security, according to a new poll.

Conducted in April and early May by the media partners El Financiero and Bloomberg, the poll found that 59% of 2,000 respondents believe that the government led by President L贸pez Obrador is doing a bad job on fighting corruption, a scourge the president has pledged to eliminate but which continues to tarnish his administration.

That’s a 13-point jump compared to March and a 22-point increase compared to January.

The percentage of respondents who believe that the government is doing a good job on combatting corruption fell to 23% in April from 33% in March and 36% in January.

Out of four areas considered by the poll, the government fared worst in public security. Only 18% of respondents said the L贸pez Obrador administration is doing a good job addressing the ongoing high levels of violence while 67% said the opposite.

The former figure fell from 20% in March and 26% in January while the latter increased from 61% last month and 57% at the start of the year.

In economic matters, 49% of respondents rated the government’s performance poorly while only 28% praised it. Hit hard by the coronavirus and associated economic restrictions, GDP slumped 8.5% in 2020 and the economy remained in recession in the first quarter of 2020, according to preliminary year-over-year numbers.

Despite Mexico having the fourth highest Covid-19 death toll in the world, the government achieved its best poll result in the area of health, with 36% of respondents saying that it is doing a good job. However, a slightly higher percentage of those polled – 38% – said that the government is performing badly in the area.

Even though the El Financiero/Bloomberg poll shows there is significant discontent with the government, the ruling Morena party and its allies remain on track to win a comprehensive victory in the June 6 Chamber of Deputies election, according to predictions based on the latest “poll of polls” collated by the website Oraculus.

It predicts that Morena will win 44%, or 220, of the 500 seats in the lower house of federal Congress and that its allies, the Labor Party (PT) and the Ecological Green Party of Mexico (PVEM), will each win around 9%, or 43 and 45, respectively. If that occurs, the Morena-PT-PVEM alliance will win 308 of the 500 seats, 300 of which are elected directly and 200 by proportional representation. That would give the coalition a strong majority in the lower house but not the two-thirds majority needed to approve constitutional changes.

Morena and its allies, which include the Social Encounter Party (PES), currently hold 334 lower house seats but Oraculus predicts that the PES – which currently occupies 20 seats – won’t win any seats at the June 6 election.

Oraculus predicts that the three-party coalition consisting of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), the National Action Party (PAN) and the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) will win a combined 37% of seats. It predicts that 14% will go to the PRI, 17% to the PAN and 6% to the PRD. It anticipates that the alliance will win a total of 180 seats in the 500-seat chamber and that the other 12 seats will go to the Citizens Movement party.

Oraculus’ latest predictions show that the PRI-PAN-PRD alliance has made up some ground since late last month. The website previously predicted that the Morena-PT-PVEM alliance would win 337 of the lower house seats and that the coalition of opposition parties would take 152.

    4. USAID got caught financing latinus and MCCI of Claudio "X" Gonzalez, close to 30 million dollars go a long way when paying former chayoteros like loret, aguilar camin, ferriz adela micha, brozo, denisse dresser among many others and financial economic rags like milenio, el financiero, the economist, reforma, televisa, who are mad because AMLO will not pay them CHAYOTE.
      AMLO still has more credit than his opponents like "federalist criminal narco-governors" now on the run, planning to escape to places without extradition treaties with M茅xico like cabeza de cagadas de vacas and aurioles, there are also the candidayes running to the OEA or to the US when caught doing their not so little crimes.
      Neta is: a AMLO se la pelan

    3. He's far from a Joe Biden. This guy has done a lot for Mexico. This retarded report clames he's militarized Mexico when really all he's doing is trying to bring it up to par with the U.S. I think he's planned to build something like 250 or so military bases accross Mexico, which isn't much, considering the U.S has over 800 in the U.S and thousands accross the world. But here you go again QUESO,hablando a lo tonto. You should focus more on all aspects of his presidency as opposed to just focusing on one thing. I've said this many times before, this website does a great job of gathering information. Unfortunately it causes its readers to wear blinders and magnifies the drug related violence more than what it really is.

    8. 11:12 Queso denigrates General Porfirio Diaz Mori by using his foto from younger times when the general was a WAR HERO who helped beat the French in Puebla.
      --Tonto Biden has passed relief and got 200 million vaccinated instead of the promised 100, and he found a presidency and a country in the middle of a disaster thanks to the unpresidented.
      --Same with AMLO, he or anybody is not going to fix 100 years of corruption and disasters from PRI, PAN, PRD, PES, PVEM, MC politicastros in 2 years, but he is surely trying.

      Mexican Trump. Really? I bet you can't name 3 good things that Trump accomplished during his presidency, because everything you know about his presidency came from the left-wing media and they refused to ever admit he did anything right. It always cracks me up to see the Trump bashers. It lets everyone know that they weren't smart enough to do any fact checking on their own. That they learned what to think and feel from MSNBCNN. Those things are exactly what they want. A brainless lump of putty they can shape into whatever they desire. All they have to do is fill their empty heads with whatever propaganda they want and they'll march around and spread their idiocy like a virus.

      Has it ever seemed strange to you that Trump never did or said anything right in 4 years yet half the country still loved him? Did you ever even wonder how it was possible that literally every single thing he did or said was wrong? I mean how is it even statistically possible that he didn't do anything even kinda good, even accidentally, in 4 years. But none of those things ever crossed your mind did they? People like you are the problem with this country right now. I bet you won't even bother to look into anything I said because you just know you're right and I'm just a racist fascist, because you heard that on TV and the TV would never ever lie to you about anything. Or you going to use your own brain to think about this and look into what Trump actually did while in office and learn something today?

      When you ask a question you should wait for an answer instead of answering it yourself with a rant filled with ad hominems. Makes you look silly and crazy.

      Do you have sources to back up your claim AMLO is trying to build bases across Mexico because he's modeling after the USA? I ask because that makes no sense whatsoever, the USA has one of the largest militaries with a population of over 300 million so it makes sense to have the bases they have. AMLO is insane if he's trying to copy the USA.

      It's my view that AMLO is an incompetent president and is possible one of the worst in recent times.

      You also claim that it's possible Trump did good based on statistics. So, if he happened to do good it was just a coincidence? You're not making Trump look good.

    15. 9:36am, 2:34pm, 2:42pm... You don't know what I like and don't like because you read a post I made on the internet Chachi.

      You lefties sure do seem to be a judgmental bunch. But you never disappoint in proving my points for me. You've put on a truly classic display of what the "typical" or "run of the mill" left-winger has to offer in a discussion. The deflection, the side stepping of answering questions, the redirection of the argument back onto the initiator, the personal attacks that have nothing to do with the argument, the dismissal of valid evidence, you've covered them all except for pulling the race-card. Otherwise textbook execution. I give you a 9 out of 10!

      And you know what? You're right, what have statistics ever been right about? What kind of moron would ever base anything on statistics or use them to prove a point? You got me there too...you are good...

      But for real though, you're going to spout all this garbage just because you don't want to actually learn something on your own?
      I think that alone says more than either of us could have said. Bravo.

      For now you'll have to excuse me, I hear Trumps PR team is going into a meltdown trying to clean up after the damage I did with my earlier comment. I'll be starting a GoFundMe account so I can try to give a little back after I've taken so much. PM me for the link.

      Relief? All that had to be done by State governors was to open up businesses so “relief” wouldn’t be necessary.

      As far at the unnecessary 馃拤馃悂, EUA, non approved FDA shot; plans were already in place from the previous administration.

      I hope you lined up and got your 馃拤. Let us know if it grows hair or your balls fall off.
