Now, 65% hold this positive opinion. Views of the government have particularly improved among middle-income Mexicans (up 25 percentage points) and those living in the Mexico City area (up 22 points).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While outgoing president Felipe Calder\u00f3n remains popular, opinions of him have slipped compared with the high marks he received in 2009. At that time, roughly two-thirds viewed him favorably (68%), compared with 58% in the latest survey. Three-quarters in 2009 thought he was having a good influence on the country; 57% do now.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calder\u00f3n is especially trusted among people who say the Mexican
