As Felipe Calderรณnโs term as Mexicoโs president draws to a close, Mexicans continue to strongly back his policy of deploying the military to combat the countryโs powerful drug cartels, despite public unease about the moral cost of the drug war. Meanwhile, a majority of Mexicans say they have a positive opinion of the U.S.
Fewer than half of Mexicans say their government is making progress in its campaign against drug cartels. Still, an overwhelming majority continues to endorse the use of the Mexican army to fight drug traffickers, virtually unchanged in recent years.
As drug violence continues to plague their country, Mexicans largely endorse President Felipe Calderรณnโs campaign against drug cartels. Most also believe the Mexican military is making progress in the drug war, although they are less likely to hold this view now than was the case one year ago.
