Less Popular

Marcelo Ebrard, about to give his government's third informe, is falling in popularity: 56 percent of respondents to an El Universal poll approved of his performance, down eight points from three months ago. The level of disapproval also ticked up, from 35 to 31 percent. The dissatisfaction among DF residents borders on universal (no pun intended): asked whether Ebrard or Calderón had performed better in office, the figure for both officials declined, while the number responding that neither had done a good job jumped from 19 to 26 percent.
