Claudia Sheinbaum arrives at her Second Government Report this Tuesday, September 1, with the support of nearly seven in 10 Mexicans: 68 percent approve of her administration, according to the latest national poll by El Financiero, while 68.4 percent rate her performance as good or very good in the FactoMétrica survey.
The president will deliver her message from the National Palace and submit to Congress the document corresponding to her second year in office, as established by the Constitution. She then plans to visit all 32 states to report on the projects and actions carried out in each one, according to an announcement by the Mexican Presidency.
The El Financiero survey, published on September 1, places the president’s approval rating at 68 percent and her disapproval rating at 32 percent. The study interviewed 800 adults by telephone across all 32 states during August and has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
The snapshot is consistent with the FactoMétrica poll, conducted among 1,200 adults between August 22 and 26, in which 68.4 percent rated Sheinbaum’s overall performance positively and 67.2 percent said Mexico is moving in the right direction.
Support is also reflected in surveys by other prominent polling firms. Enkoll recorded a 68 percent approval rating in May, compared with 27 percent disapproval, while Mitofsky’s latest available national assessment placed Sheinbaum at 68.4 percent in March.
The current figures are below some of the peaks recorded at the time of her First Government Report, but they still represent a broad majority. In September 2025, Enkoll reported a 79 percent approval rating, while Mitofsky placed her at 71.4 percent.
Two years into her administration, social programs remain the main source of her popularity. FactoMétrica found that 75.3 percent rate them as good or very good, while 68.5 percent say these programs have improved their family’s quality of life significantly or somewhat.
The El Financiero survey confirms that strength, indicating that social programs were the best-rated area of the government, with 64 percent favorable opinions, followed by management of the economy, with 50 percent.
FactoMétrica also reports that 65.7 percent believe minimum wage increases and economic policies have significantly or somewhat improved household incomes. In addition, 45.8 percent perceive the economy as better than it was before the administration began.
On security, 65.4 percent of those surveyed by FactoMétrica said the situation has improved significantly or somewhat, while 62.6 percent expressed confidence in the federal strategy. However, the issue continues to top public demands: 47.2 percent said reducing violence should be the priority for the coming year.
The relationship with the United States also shows favorable results, as 64.5 percent rated the management of bilateral relations as good or very good, while 76.6 percent said Sheinbaum has fully or partially defended Mexican sovereignty against U.S. pressure.
In the El Financiero survey, favorable opinions of the negotiations and reviews of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement increased from 51 to 56 percent between July and August.
The Washington-based Pew Research Center found that 64 percent of Mexican adults hold a favorable opinion of Sheinbaum, while 55 percent specifically approved of her handling of relations with the United States.
In addition, the New York-based Americas Society/Council of the Americas considers Sheinbaum to have remained among Latin America’s most popular leaders throughout her presidency.
She has also received direct recognition from the White House. One example was a January conversation on trade and security, during which Donald Trump described her as a “wonderful and highly intelligent” leader, although bilateral relations continue to be marked by disagreements over migration, security, trade and sovereignty.
Thus, Sheinbaum arrives at her Second Government Report with majority approval, social programs that sustain her support and sufficient political capital to address security, the economy and relations with the United States during the third year of her administration.
