Former Mexico City Mayor and ruling National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) party, candidate Claudia Sheinbaum, gestures during her registration as oficial candidate for MORENA for the 2024 presidential election, in Mexico City, Mexico November 19, 2023.
A prior survey by the firm published early last month had given former Mexico City Mayor Sheinbaum 55% support, and Galvez, a businesswoman-turned-politician, 20%.
The latest Parametria poll gave a third contender, Samuel Garcia of the opposition center-left Citizens' Movement (MC), 10% backing.
"That said, it's a big lead and we're looking at a scenario where she would have an absolute majority (in Congress)," Abundis told Reuters.
