Political Thermometer
Recent polls of Mexicans and their perception of Mexico’s current situation point not only to economic and social repercussions, but also to fundamental political considerations. The polling firm Consulta Mitofsky published recent data showing, for the first time, that a notable majority thought the year 2009 was worse than the previous year. Those who had the opposite opinion numbered 14 points lower than the year before. 55% of those polled felt 2009 was worse than 2008, which is a decrease of six points from the previous year and 24 points lower than with respect to the year 2007. Those who thought that things had gotten worse placed blame on the Mexican federal government.
