President Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto\u2019s popularity has continued to plunge since Pew Research Center began asking about him in 2011. Today, 28% of Mexicans express a favorable opinion of the Mexican president, less than half the share that supported him in 2011 (61%). The current favorability rating marks a 16- percentage-point drop since 2015 and a 28-point drop since the Center\u2019s 2012 poll, conducted just months before he was elected president.<\/p>\n\n

Even within his own party, Pe\u00f1a Nieto is suffering, though he retains majority support. Six-in-ten Mexicans who identify with the PRI view him favorably, down from 78% in 2015.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n

Pe\u00f1a Nieto\u2019s approval on specific issues has also weakened over the past two years. Eight-in-ten Mexicans disapprove of the way he is dealing with the economy, an increase of 12 points since 2015. Large shares of Mexicans also disapprove of the way their president is handling corruption and crime.<\/p>\n\n

Satisfaction with Pe\u00f1a Nieto\u2019s handling of relations with the United States has taken a sharp hit since 2015, coinciding with Pe\u00f1a Nieto\u2019s invitation<\/a> in 2016 to then-candidate Donald Trump to visit Mexico. While just over half (53%) disapproved of his handling of\u00a0relations with the U.S. in 2015, roughly seven-in-ten (72%) say they disapprove today.<\/p>\n\n

Pe\u00f1a Nieto receives slightly better marks for his handling of police reform and education, although majorities continue to disapprove.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n

Mexicans who live in urban areas are significantly more critical of Pe\u00f1a Nieto. When it comes to his performance on the economy, more than eight-in-ten (84%) Mexicans who live in urban areas disapprove, while only 66% of those who live in rural areas say the same.<\/p>\n\n

This urban-rural divide is especially prominent when it comes to the president\u2019s performance on education: 64% of urban residents disapprove, compared with 31% of their rural counterparts.<\/p>\n\n

Mexicans ages 18 to 29 are also more likely to have negative views of Pe\u00f1a Nieto\u2019s policies than those 50 or older, particularly concerning education. Two-thirds of young Mexicans disapprove of the president\u2019s handling of education, versus 44% of those ages 50 and older.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n

Views of Pe\u00f1a Nieto\u2019s political party have worsened during his tenure. Roughly one-in-four (27%) have favorable views of the PRI now, compared with about half (49%) in 2013.<\/p>\n\n

Meanwhile, favorable views of the right-of-center PAN improved from 29% in 2015 to 38% in 2017. The social democratic party PRD also gained support, from 23% in 2015 to 29% in 2017. The left-of-center MORENA party, a\u00a0relative newcomer to the political scene, is seen favorably by 37%.<\/p>\n\n

Institutions generally seen as having a positive impact in Mexico<\/h3>\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n

A strong majority of Mexicans (79%) see the military as having a positive influence on the country, making it the best-regarded institution tested. The media are a close second, with 76%. Almost two-thirds believe that human rights organizations (65%) have a good influence on how things are going in Mexico, and 63% say the same thing about religious leaders.<\/p>\n\n

The court system, corporations and the national government receive mixed views, with around half of Mexicans seeing their influence as good. The police are at the bottom of the list, at 44% positive.<\/p>\n\n

The military is seen more positively by men (84%) than women (75%), and somewhat more positively among Mexicans living in rural areas (86%) than those in urban areas (78%).<\/p>\n\n

Nearly half of Mexicans ages 18 to 29 (48%) see the influence of the police positively, while about one-third of those 50 or older share this view (34%). Similarly, younger Mexicans (64%) more than their older counterparts (40%) tend to believe the court system has a positive influence.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
