Sheinbaum arrives at her first state of the country with 70% public approval, according to a survey.

Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo kicks off her First State of the Nation address with a remarkable 70% approval rating, according to the latest national housing survey by Buendía & Márquez, published by El Universal. This percentage reflects a stable acceptance rate, just 4 points below the 74% rating recorded during her first month in office.

The president faces a backdrop of solid support among her supporters and moderate criticism from the opposition, marking a balanced approval rating during her first year in office.

The survey reveals that Sheinbaum's support is concentrated primarily among Morena supporters, reaching 90% approval. In contrast, among members of opposition parties such as the PAN and PRI, support drops to 51%.

This difference shows that, while the Morena supporter base remains strong, the president's opinions vary more widely among opponents and independents.

Nationally, 57% of citizens believe Mexico is on a good or very good path, compared to 31% who perceive a negative trend. However, when analyzing state perceptions, only 46% believe their state is progressing well, while 42% indicate the opposite.

Regarding the evolution since Sheinbaum assumed the presidency:

• 42% believe that Mexico is better off
• 19% consider that it remains the same
• 23% see it as equally bad
• 13% perceive a worsening

Overall, 61% perceive positive improvement or stability, compared to 36% who see a decline.

Among the most highly rated aspects, social programs lead with 47%, followed by international relations, especially with the United States (7%), and “staying the course” (4%).

In contrast, the main problems identified are:

• Security and drug trafficking: 15%
• Economy: 8%
• Corruption: 3%
• Health problems and medications: 3%

Data shows that security remains the most pressing challenge for Mexicans.

Citizens have clear priorities for Sheinbaum's speech:

1. Insecurity and crime: 39%
2. Economy: 8%
3. Corruption: 4%

This confirms that, although social support is high, there is a clear demand for tangible results in security and the economy.

Unlike several of her predecessors, Claudia Sheinbaum has maintained a stable approval rating during her first year, sustained primarily by Morena's membership and the perception that the country is moving in the right direction.

With 70% support, the president arrives at her First State of the Union address in a strong position, albeit with significant challenges in security and the economy, the issues of greatest concern to Mexicans.
