Introduction Mexico and the World 2006: Public Opinion and Foreign Policy in Mexico is the second biennial survey conducted by the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE) and Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales (Mexican Council on Foreign Relations, COMEXI) of Mexicans’ opinions, outlooks, values, and general attitudes toward the world. This is the continuation of the long-term research project that the two institutions began in 2004, with the aim of periodically filling in gaps in information and knowledge about how Mexicans, including the country’s foreign affairs leaders, understand and respond to changing world realities. The Project is composed of two mirror surveys consisting of house-to-house visits of a representative simple of the adult population (1,499 respondents) conducted from July 22 through July 27, 2006, while the second consists of telephone interviews with 259 political, economic, and social leaders in foreign affairs. The aim of the project is to generate analytical tools and data that can be used both in higher education and research on Mexico’s internacional relations, as well as to help design, formulate and assess the country’s foreign policy. The survey also aims to contribute to an informed and pluralistic public debate on Mexico’s interests and role in the world. In a young democracy such as Mexico’s, gathering and disseminating data on public opinion through surveys such as this helps give the public a role in decision-making, particularly in an area of national debate as highly specialized as foreign policy. Given the upcoming change of government, it is essential that policymakers in charge of designing the foreign policy agenda in the comino six years of the next presidency have accurate information on Mexicans’ views of their country’s relations with other countries. For this second survey of Mexican public opinion on foreign policy issues, CIDE and COMEXI worked BGC-Ulises Beltran & Associates who conducted the general public survey from July 22 to 27, 2006, using the same survey method and field organization as the 2004 survey. The survey was conducted by in-person (face-to-face) interviews based on a sample of the adult Mexican population aged 18 and older. In-person interviews were necessary because of the low rate of telephone and Internet penetration in Mexico. The general public survey consists of 1499 interviews based on a probabilistic sample design. Given the nature and objectives of the study to compare Mexicans’ opinions across regions of the country and in the same regions over time, it was necessary to oversample the populations of the states in the north that border the United States and the relatively sparsely populated regions of the southeast. The resulting sample included 600 respondents in the six states of the north, 299respondents in the seven states of the south andsoutheast, and 600 respondents in the remaining nineteen states constituting the country’s centerregion. The sample design was based on a list of 63,594 electoral sections defined by the Federal Electoral Institute for the 2003 Mexican federal elections. This design provides an exhaustive and exclusive division of the population Under study. The selection process used was multistage sampling in which the first stage is the grouping or “conglomeration” of sections in the same state and municipality. This was done to reduce costs by reducing the geographic dispersion of the survey. The number of conglomerates per municipality increases with the population size of the electoral district. This combining of sections produced 6,080 section conglomerates. The selection of 75 conglomerates was then done through random sampling with probabilities proportional to the size of the electoral list. The second stage consisted of choosing two electoral sections inside a conglomerate, selected through random sampling with probabilities proportional to the size of the electoral section. In the next stages, blocks and then residences were selected randomly with equal probabilities. Inside the residences respondents were chosen using quotas for age and sex based on the known demographic characteristics, according to the 2000 Mexican Census. The overall response rate was 48%. The survey took approximately 25 minutes. Because of the general public survey design, regional oversampling, and sample deviations from the distributions of age and sex, the data were weighted for the national and regional analyses based on the known demographic characteristics. There were, however, generally small differences between the weighted and unweighted results. For the results based on the total national sample of 1,499 respondents, the sampling error for a 95% confidence interval is +/- 4%. Each regional sample has a larger sampling error. For the north it is +/- 6%, for the south/southeast it is +/- 8%, and for the rest of the country (center) it is +/- 6%. This margin of error does not include any additional error that can occur in surveys due to question wordings and other characteristics of the survey and interview process.

Question ORP03_(1-6) Now I am going to ask you to measure your feelings towards some international organizations, with 100 meaning a very favorable feeling, 0 meaning a very unfavorable feeling, and 50 meaning a feeling that is neither favorable nor unfavorable. You can use any number between 0 and 100, the higher the number, the more favorable your feelings toward this organization. If you don’t have any feelings toward this organization or have never heard of it, please tell me.
