Ulises Beltrán has a poll in Excélsior showing that Marcelo Ebrard is not only among the most prominent members of the PRD, he's also the most popular. In the last seven months, he has gone from a 5.6 to 6.5 in the pollster's approval index, while he is now recognized by 77 percent of the population, which puts him next to AMLO (96 percent) and Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas (85 percent) as the party's most well known figures. Jesús Ortega, Lázaro Cárdenas, Alejandro Encinas, and Amalia García round out the most well known perredistas. What do you notice about them all? None are legislators.
