Approval Tracker: Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum

By Chase Harrison

How do Mexicans rate their first presidenta on security, the economy, and social programs after five months in office?

This article was originally published on January 28, 2025, and has since been updated.

In June 2024, Claudia Sheinbaum won Mexico’s presidency with a historic margin, capturing the largest share of the vote since 1982. Since her inauguration on October 1, 2024, Sheinbaum has continued to command widespread support in her country. Her approval hovers over 75 percent in most polls.

Sheinbaum’s popularity—alongside majorities in both houses of Congress—has aided the advancement of her agenda and that of her party, Morena. She has overseen the passage of numerous constitutional reforms and announced a six-year industrial plan to grow the economy and attract investment. Her government is also in charge of the implementation of constitutional reforms passed in the final months of the presidency of Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), her predecessor and political mentor. These include unprecedented nationwide judicial elections, scheduled for June of this year.

Outside of her domestic agenda, Sheinbaum has also engaged in high-profile back-and-forths with U.S. President Donald Trump over plans on migration, border security, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico.

Almost five month in, how do Mexicans view their leader? AS/COA Online reviews the data.
