Sheinbaum has high approval ratings, but her government's troubles are starting to take a toll

"Her approval rating, at 74%, remains very high compared to her predecessors, but it is the lowest level since the start of her administration, according to a survey by Enkoll conducted for EL PAIS and W Radio. The survey, conducted between November 28 and December 1, took place during one of the most critical moments of Sheinbaum's government, following the assassination of Carlos Manzo, mayor of Uruapan; Generation Z demonstrations encouraged by young people and opposition leaders; and protests by transport workers and farmers."

"After a month of conflicts in which the government lost control of the public agenda, the president's approval fell four points compared to the September poll. When asked Do you approve or disapprove of Claudia Sheinbaum's performance as mayor? 74% of respondents said they approve, a drop of nine points from her highest approval rating in May 2025, when it reached 83%. Her disapproval rating of 24% is also the highest since December 2024, when it stood at 21%."

"One year into her six-year term, and following a November filled with challenges that the opposition used to question the government's efficiency, 62% believe the country's situation is improving. This is also the lowest level since December 2014, when 71% said the country was improving. Similarly, the 34% who believe the country is getting worsening is the highest figure since Enkoll began conducting this survey."
