While Sheinbaum concentrates 46 percent of voting intentions, Xóchitl Gálvez registers 28 percent in this area heading into the 2024 presidential elections.
With the 2024 electoral process getting closer and closer, the polls still place Claudia Sheinbaum, virtual candidate of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), two digits higher in the polls than Xóchitl Gálvez, who will represent the Frente Amplio Por México in the search for the presidency.
According to the El Financiero survey, the Morenista has an advantage of 18 percentage points in voting intentions, as the standard bearer of Morena, the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM), and the Labor Party (PT). This is in relation to Xóchitl Gálvez, who is her closest contender and is supported by the National Action Party (PAN), the Democratic Revolution (PRD), and the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).
Sheinbaum concentrates 46 percent of the preferences, followed by Xóchitl Gálvez with 28 percent, according to El Financiero. Regarding negative opinions, both candidates registered 30 percent disapproval, against 46 percent positive opinion for Sheinbaum and 42 percent for Gálvez.
The survey questioned potential voters about the aspects that advantage the possible candidates, which resulted in considering business training as an advantage at 76 percent, the proposal for a change at 68 percent, training scientific in 65 percent, “being populist” in 46 percent and “being a woman” in 43 percent of opinions that consider it an advantage, to name a few.
On the other hand, Movimiento Ciudadano (MC), a party that has not yet defined its candidate, has two possible scenarios: the first with Samuel García, current governor of Nuevo León, who would concentrate 8 percent of the approval, while Marcelo Ebrard, former Mexican foreign minister, would change the panorama by obtaining 9 percent of the preferences and leaving 46 percent support for Morena and 27 percent for the opposition.
Ebrard has a higher positive opinion among the population consulted than Samuel García, given that the survey reports 26 percent positivity for the Morenista and 19 percent for the New Leonese. Despite this difference, in the unfavorable opinion, there is only one percentage point of distance between both possible candidates, with 38 percent for Ebrard and 39 percent for García.
In June 2024, the ruling party and the opposition will seek to retain the presidency of Mexico for the 2024-2030 six-year term and while the internal processes continue for some, the virtual candidates are already emerging as options in the polls.
