Selee
As the campaign season kicks into high gear, poll numbers are beginning to show indications that there is going to be an interesting battle between the potential candidates. Following the release of a recent Consulta Mitofsky report, Mexico Institute Director, Andrew Selee, had the following reaction:
“The latest Mitofsky poll has good news for all the likely candidates. Peña Nieto continues to lead the pack by a large margin despite some recent turbulence in his campaign, and his image remains overwhelmingly positive in the face of recent scandals. Andrés Manuel López Obrador remains in third place, but his overall public image has improved and he remains in striking distance of second place (and, some might add, of first place if Peña Nieto’s candidacy were to drop in the polls). And Josefina Vázquez Mota continues to be extremely well placed to win the PAN nomination and to start her campaign (if she wins) in second place — a distant second place, but also in striking distance of first place if Peña Nieto drops in the polls.”
