Guest JakTheHammer Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Yup.......Heehee........Despite all the Whining and "Demonstrations" by the Dirty Leftist Pukes, the New President of MEXICO is Quite POPULAR...........Heehee.........(And the Rising Price of Tortillas is due to the EnviroWacko Demand on the Corn Crop for ETHANOL - Make a Note of that, Lefties!!)............. "Majority of Mexicans Approve of Calderon February 7, 2007, 12:17 AM EST MEXICO CITY (AP)-- A majority of Mexicans approve of President Felipe Calderon's first two months in office, according to a poll published Tuesday. A pro-business conservative, Calderon won office last year with just 35.9 percent of the vote -- a hair ahead of his leftist rival Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, with 35.3 percent. But in the poll published in El Universal newspaper, 58 percent of Mexicans said Calderon has done a good job so far. Calderon took office on Dec. 1 with promises to tackle the country's widespread poverty and expand social programs, the foundation of Lopez Obrador's platform. He also has sent thousands of federal troops into several states to fight mounting drug violence. The poll did not shed much light on which of his policies are popular with the public, however. In the one policy area addressed in the survey -- rising tortilla prices -- Calderon fared poorly, with just a third of respondents saying he had taken effective action. The price of tortillas, a staple of the Mexican diet especially among the poor, surged 14 percent in 2006 and has continued to rise in the first weeks of 2007. The poll surveyed 1,030 adults nationwide Jan. 25 to 31 and had a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
