Most people in the U.S. see Mexico as an essential partner to stop drug trafficking and illegal border crossings, even as they express mixed views of Mexico’s government, according to a new poll.
The poll from the Pearson Institute for the Study and Resolution of Global Conflicts and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about two-thirds of Americans see their southern neighbor as having at least a friendly relationship with the U.S. Relatively few within that group, or 16%, consider Mexico a close ally. Meanwhile, U.S. adults are more likely to have an unfavorable (38%) view of Mexico’s leadership than a favorable (12%) one. The remaining responded they did not have an unfavorable or favorable view or were not sure.

I wonder how many of those can even name Mexico’s president
Because most people know Mexico is our most important ally and the majority of issues in Mexico can be directly traced back to America.
All of North America should be seeking to deepen their ties and trade. US politics has been the number one hurdle to greater cooperation with our nations.
I would kinda rather have a nice happy North America. I don’t want problems with Canada or Mexico. Like let’s be the cool continent.
I’ve got no beef with Mexico. Visiting Cancun for 1st time in January.
To be fair Cancun, Cozumel and other tourist traps aren’t really Mexico proper.
It is in Mexico. You’d have to explain?
I’m sure any brewery in the area would be considered Mexican.
Enjoy your trip, Cancun is a nice place, I recommend you to visit outside the resort area like the pyramids and cenotes, enjoy the food too.
Ty. There’s a small group going at least 6. I’m sure there’ll be exploring. My top priority will be a Mexican beer brewery.
I say, let the confederate states have their own country and the US and mexico have a shotgun wedding.
@MicroWave although, as a former Mexican of the brown persuasion I see it as a form or prison. Plus you too can get kidnapped down there. Or worse. I would let things settle down for a few million years.
Sure there’s crime but there is a fun correlation between crime south of the border and illicit intake north of the border and there sorta always has been.
