We’re a little less than a year from the congressional elections in Mexico, and recent polling shows that the outlook is grim for the PRD, just as Germán Martínez predicted. Via Leo Zuckermann, Consulta Mitofski found that 13 percent of respondents pledged a vote for the PRD, while 25 percent were leaning toward the PAN and 27 toward the PRI. Mitofski divided the country into four regions, and the PRD wasn’t leading in any one of them. The 32 percent who remain undecided offer some consolation for the perredistas, but, needless to say, they have their work cut out for them.
For the PRD, the gallos are coming home to roost. It’s been two years of self-inflicted wounds: refusing to get over the 2006 election, the anarchic (and still inconclusive) elections in March for party leadership, the taking of the congressional building, the continued legislative obstruction, et cetera. What do these guys have to offer besides chaos and confrontation?
