Mexican political culture and public opinion

Daniel Wilson, writing in the blog Under the Volcano, cites poll results showing that people in Mexico want change, but aren't sure what change will work.



Public backs political reform in general, but level of knowledge is low
An El Universal national telephone poll showed broad support for the concept of political reform (89% approval) and President Calderón’s proposal (69% approval). However, there is a low level of actual knowledge – only 20% said they knew the specifics of Calderón’s proposal.  Of the specific proposals, reducing the size of Congress had the highest support, and reelection the lowest.
