Chango Bounce

Following the arrest of Familia boss José de Jesús Méndez, BGC has a poll showing greater support for Calderón's crime policies: 63 percent agree with Calderón's organized crime strategy, which is up from 48 percent less than two weeks ago, during the Sicilia's Caravan for Peace, and 45 percent say that the government is having a lot of success, which is up from 27 percent. Many numbers are still quite negative, however: 39 percent say that the government has control over the situation, which may be a eight-point boost, but is still far less than the 55 percent who think that the government has been overwhelmed.
