Last week, El Financiero published a survey in which the presidential candidate of the ruling party Claudia Sheinbaumleads with 49% of preferences, while opponent Xóchitl Gálvez obtains 32% and Jorge Álvarez Máynez 8%.

The survey released this Thursday, which has a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 3.5%, was carried out among 800 adults via telephone calls from April 17th to 24th.
