I've never seen approval ratings this high in a democracy before.

Two months into his six-year term, President López Obrador enjoys an 86% approval rating, according to a new poll that also shows strong support for the government’s crackdown on fuel theft.

The survey, conducted by the newspaper El Financiero over two days last week, shows that just 13% of 410 people polled disapprove of the president’s performance while 1% of respondents were undecided.

In contrast, the highest rating ever earned by López Obrador’s predecessor, Enrique Peña Nieto, was just 57%, in May 2013, according to pollster Consulta Mitofsky. His lowest rating was 17% in February 2017 and he finished his term last November at 24%.
