In March, Claudia Sheinbaum reaches 18 months in office, marking the first quarter of her six-year term. This period has seen the highest levels of presidential popularity recorded in polls over the past 30 years. Sheinbaum's popular support surpasses that of her five predecessors, indicating a strong approval rating among the public. According to surveys conducted by El Financiero, Sheinbaum has secured the highest approval ratings in five of the six trimesters of her administration's start.

Only Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) outperformed her during the first quarter, achieving an 81 percent approval rating at the onset of his presidency, setting a record for government beginnings. However, Sheinbaum surpassed this record in the second quarter, where she averaged an impressive 83 percent approval rating. This achievement suggests that Sheinbaum's administration has resonated positively with the public, as her support remains consistently high, even beyond the metrics registered by López Obrador in the subsequent five trimesters.

These high approval ratings for Sheinbaum could impact her governance approach and political strategies moving forward, as sustained popular support can enhance her influence and authority. As her term progresses, the implications of this popularity remain crucial, especially in a political landscape that is closely monitored by both supporters and critics alike. Understanding these dynamics can help experts anticipate her administration's priorities and potential challenges ahead.
