Trust in Mexican institutions
Dan Wilson, writing in the blog Under the Volcano, has been providing some very useful information about politics in Mexico. Here's another one.

Confidence in Army declines sharply
Mitofsky’s nationwide survey of confidence in institutions showed a decrease in confidence in the most admired institutions in Mexico. Those saying they had a “high” degree of confidence in the Army fell 6.6% to 34.4% from 41% in January 2009… Confidence in the Presidency also decreased. Political parties remain the least respected institutions in Mexico, with only 5.6% having a high degree of confidence in them.
