Polls favor PRD-PAN alliance in Mexico state; vote to be held in a month

Luis Sánchez Jiménez, the very able leader of PRD in Mexico State, announced that the citizen poll to decide on a possible PRD-PAN alliance will be held in a month, between March 6-16.

The vote will be organized by Alianza Cívica and the NGO Propuesta Cívica. Sánchez Jiménez noted that a Feb. 1 IPSOS poll revealed that the mexiquenses back an alliance 45-31, with 24 undecided.

Note, though, that the vote will only be open to registered PAN and PRD members, not the society-at-large.
Sánchez Jiménez has declared the PRD in Mexico State, which supports a PRD-PAN alliance, will respect a loss in the poll. Andrés Manuel López Obrador has not made any similar promise, but on the contrary openly declared he will oppose an alliance in any case, despite all his rhetoric of listening to the "people."
