Disappointment

According to a recent Berumen poll, 70 percent of Mexicans feel somewhat or completely unsatisfied with Mexico's democracy. Fifty-six percent also said that the country is very or somewhat unstable.

Berumen has evidently been asking these questions for most of the decade, but there's an odd five-year gap since the last time a similar poll has been published. With that grain of salt, the disappointed 70 percent is higher than ever before, although the 56 percent labeling the country very or slightly unstable is less than in April of 2005.
