SARSFIELD, Rodolfo. The Rationality of Political Preferences in Mexico. Notes on Some Recent Studies on Public Opinion and Electoral Behavior. Polít. gob [online]. 2007, vol.14, n.1, pp.143-171. ISSN 1665-2037.
This review essay identifies two images of Mexican public opinion. It is based upon a critical reading of four recent books and the related research in the field of Mexican electoral behavior and public opinion. The first contains dimensions of public opinion and political behavior that are coherent and predictable, which suggests that the Mexican electorate has rational political preferences. In contrast, a second collection of findings suggests that Mexican political opinion is incoherent. This image questions the rationality of Mexican political preferences.
Palabras llave : rationality; public opinion; electoral behavior; Mexico.
