Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador raised his level of approval among Mexicans to 73%, prior to his first government report, revealed the polling house Enkoll, in a joint exercise with “La Silla Rota“, “Noticias MVS” and “Publimetro”.

This percentage represents an increase of three points over the previous measurement, made in May this year when the popularity of the president was positioned at 70%.

The population aged 65 or over was the one with the highest approval rating with 79%, followed by young people aged 18 to 24 who presented an approval rating of 76%. In contrast, people aged 45 to 64 gave a pass of 69%, the lowest level of the exercise.
