Will approval ratings translate into policy-makng power?
Opinion Poll Shows Pickup In Approval Of Mexico President Calderón "The approval rating of Mexican President Felipe Calderón rose in January as negative views about the economy diminished from October, according to an opinion poll published Tuesday by Mexico's El Universal newspaper.
"Calderón's approval rating rose last month to 66% from 57% in a poll taken in late October, El Universal reported.
"The Ipsos-Bimsa nationwide poll, conducted Jan. 26-30, was based on 1,000 interviews and had a margin of error of plus-or-minus 3.5 percentage points.
"El Universal stressed opinions about the country's economic performance in explaining the change. It noted that while a similar number of people - 14% - thought there had been an improvement, fewer people - 24% compared with 29% in October - thought the situation had deteriorated from a year earlier.
"Of those interviewed, 32% thought the economy was doing well, up from 25%, and 28% said it was doing badly, down from 31% in October..."
