Political analysts in Mexico say President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is “made of Teflon.” Since taking office in 2018, the populist has weathered multiple setbacks – not to mention that Mexico has one of the world’s highest death tolls from COVID-19. Yet more than a year into the pandemic, he maintains hearty approval ratings, and many observers expect his party to have strong showings in midterm elections this weekend. When his government is evaluated on specific issues, like security or the economy, it garners substantially lower marks than the president himself. So what’s his superpower? Analysts say his popularity comes down to a handful of populist traits, like prioritizing poor people (at least in his rhetoric), and a lack of opposition. But perhaps above all, what Mr. López Obrador has going for him is his ability to instill hope, despite scant concrete progress.
