MEXICO CITY - Support for Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has grown since his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump threatened to slap tariffs on U.S. imports of Mexican goods to pressure Mexico into adopting tougher migration policies, polls showed on Tuesday.
A separate daily tracking poll by pollster Mitofsky showed Lopez Obrador's approval rating had climbed to 64% on Tuesday, up 1.9 percentage points from a week earlier. The Mexican president has sought to ease tensions by insisting he wants to remain friends with the United States and Trump. He expressed confidence a deal could be brokered between the two sides before June 10. [nL2N23B08O]
Lopez Obrador has received backing from some prominent Mexicans for his response to Trump, while others have taken the view that he should have been tougher. Some 57% of those polled felt that Mexico should retaliate in kind to U.S. tariffs, while 59% supported the position that Mexico should"cease to be partners with the United States and should seek other trade partners like China."
