MEXICO: Polls suggest dim prospects for PRI in June
Out of every 10 Mexican voters six would prefer to see the ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) without a majority in the lower chamber of congress as a result of the legislative elections on 7 June. That, at least, is what they told pollsters earlier this month. To judge by their voting intentions there does not seem to be much of a chance that the PRI could win a majority; indeed, it is possible that it could find itself having to struggle to retain a plurality. Its biggest hope is that the main political opposition parties have internal problems and are also unpopular.
