Claudia Sheinbaum’s political party is MORENA,
the same party as current president
Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 7th, Milenio<\/em> published an interesting article by Saul Hernandez. The article was entitled Sheinbaum eleva su votaci\u00f3n en estados con m\u00e1s programas sociales<\/strong>, which translates to “Sheinbaum elevates her vote in states with more social programs”. Here is the link to the article:
Sheinbaum eleva su votaci\u00f3n en estados con m\u00e1s programas sociales – Grupo Milenio<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what Hernandez reports (my translation):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A cross-reference of data carried out by Milenio<\/em> reveals that the former chief of government of Mexico City [Claudia Sheinbaum] won the presidential election with 63.5% of the votes in the 16 states with the greatest coverage of social programs. In contrast, she received 56.2% of the votes in the 16 entities with fewer programs.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be clear, with the exception of Aguascalientes, Sheinbaum won in every state and in Mexico City. But she had a wider margin of victory in states with more government welfare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“In Oaxaca and Chiapas, where more than half the population has a subsidy from the federal government, [Claudia Sheinbaum] won with more than 70% of the vote (compared to 59.8% nationally).<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“She also won wide margins in San Luis Potosi, Hidalgo, Veracruz, Nayarit, Yucatan, Campeche, Puebla and Guerrero, where the signature programs of Obradorism surpass the national coverage of 29% and arrived to least 1 of every 3 persons.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In contrast, her victory was more modest in places where scholarship and pensions are not so broad. This is the case of Nuevo Leon, Queretaro, Guanajuato and Jalisco, where fewer than a fifth of the population receives federal assistance.” <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In Aguascalientes, the only entity in which the opposition candidate Xochitl Galvez beat Sheinbaum, social programs only benefit 15% of the inhabitants.” <\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then Hernandez looks back six years to the previous election:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“…[I]n the same 16 states where Claudia Sheinbaum won with a wide margin, Lopez Obrador also obtained a wider victory six years ago (56.6%) than he obtained in the other half of the country (49.7%). This was before there were so many social programs.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Sheinbaum swept the election where Andres Manuel also did before. The difference is that with [Sheinbaum] the margin of victory was even wider, now with the asstance programs of Obradorism at their height.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also fits in with a national exit poll conducted by El Financiero<\/em><\/a> (my translation):
“Another weighty factor in the [vote for MORENA] was that of social programs: 56% of the voters reported themselves, their family or both, having received social benefits from the government. Among that segment of beneficiaries, Sheinbaum received 69% of the vote, in contrast to 23% for Xochitl Galvez. Nevertheless, Sheinbaum also had the advantage among non-beneficiaries, obtaining 49% of the votes of that sector, in contrast to 37% who chose to vote for the opposition candidate [Galvez].<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It definitely appears that AMLO’s social assistance programs had an effect on the election, driving up the vote for the MORENA candidate Claudia Sheinbaum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then, since the ancient Romans, politicians have used public assistance to gain public support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
