Mexican leader Sheinbaum’s popularity slides on corruption revelation
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's popularity has dropped to its lowest level due to a U.S. corruption indictment against her close ally, Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya. U.S. prosecutors allege Rocha Moya used the Sinaloa cartel to aid his election victory, in exchange for protection and leaked information. Mexico's corruption perception rating has declined during Sheinbaum's and her predecessor's tenures.
