Summary View help for Summary
The New York Times conducted interviews with residents of Mexico to measure public opinion in that country on current social, economic, and political issues. Respondents were asked to comment on the state of the Mexican national economy, their personal political beliefs and party identification, views on the performance of the Mexican government, feelings toward the use of illegal drugs, religious practices, employment status and job description, educational attainments, income, and family composition. They also listed both the positive and negative aspects of life in the United States, compared them with life in Mexico, and gave their opinions on both the American government and the American people. Their attitudes toward the United States were judged in comparison with those for Spain, Cuba, Japan, the Soviet Union, France, and Columbia. They were also questioned about their feelings toward the Sandinista government in Nicaragua.
