Mexico will have mid-term elections for the Lower House on July 6th

There will be governor elections in

Baja California
Baja California Sur
Campeche
Colima
Guerrero
Michoacán
Nuevo León
Querétaro
San Luis Potosí
Sonora

Most likely it will be a MORENA sweep despite the emerging and most likely viewed a opportunist PAN-PRD-PRD alliance
what party would right wing populists support?

There is no "right-wing populist" tradition in Mexico because traditional Mexican nationalism derives its mythologies, symbols and rhetoric from the Mexican Revolution. This means that the base for this kind of politics is near non-existent.

Because the PRI was not particularly radical or socialist, there was no base for reactionary impulses and what came after the PRI was non-threatening to the middle class. AMLO is changing this to a degree but only somewhat.

I think the nationalist non-establishment vote for sure went MORENA but especially AMLO in 2018.  With MORENA taking over the PRI vote, especially in the South, I am not sure where that vote will go.  Nationalism in Mexico is more associated with the Left so I suspect they will still go MORENA.

There's no basis whatsoever for right-wing nationalism in Mexico. There could be a basis for far-right politics but it'd have to find inspiration in Mexico's shortcomings as a country and use some other country as a reference point. Mexico's national heroes are all men of the left or liberal.

https://www.eluniversal.com.mx/nacion/rumbo-san-lazaro-morena-aventaja-alianza-opositora

Latest  El Universal/Buendia & Marquez poll has party support to be

MORENA   34
PAN         16
PRI           7
PVEM        5
PT            5
PRD          3
MC           1
PES          1  (Conservative Right, ex-MORENA ally)
PFM         1  (MORENA splinter)
RSP         1  (Leftist)

Where the two alliance blocs are fighting each other (MORENA-PT-PVEM vs PAN-PRI-PRD) it is

MORENA-PT-PVEM        43
PAN-PRI-PRD               29
MC                               4

It seems even in districts where MORENA is not running in an alliance it is ahead of PAN-PRI-PRD 38-24.

PVEM aligning with Morena is hilarious.

El Universal poll for San Luis Potosí governor race has PVEM-PT ahead of both PAN-PRI-PRD and MORENA.

PVEM-PT         43
PAN-PRI-PRD   31
MORENA         24
MC                   2



In this state it seems PVEM is running an PRD rebel and have broken from MORENA who is running separately.  PAN is fairly strong in this state but according to this poll it is behind PVEM-PT

Massive Caller has it neck-to-neck between PAN-PRI-PRD and PVEM.  The poll seems to mislabel PT as an ally of MORENA when it is an ally of PVEM.

Exactly what brought this alliance to even be a possibility in San Luis Potosí? Why would PT not favor the MORENA candidate?

I think you overrate the ideological consistency and principles of Mexican parties. I have absolutely no idea but I would guess it's a mix of wanting to be on the winning horse and shady deals between the local chapters?

We do not know who is going to win the election, we just know that PVEM will emerge as an ally of the winning party.  Sort of like KP in Japan except KP at least act as a Kingmaker where they dramatically increase the likelihood of its ally winning.  PVEM's base is small and it is not that clear how effective it is in transferring its vote to its ally.

I have no idea. There must be some regional factors behind this.  The PVEM candidate having a PRD background must also play a role for PT which is on the Left to be able to sell to its base being allied with PVEM against MORENA.

Massive Caller poll that with projection of vote shares of all 300 districts



MORENA   154
PVEM           6
PT               6
PAN           94
PRI            32
MC              8






I can only say the projection will be off.  Many MORENA candidates will run as PVEM or PT party label to get around the 8% rule (your seat share cannot be greater than 8% more than your vote share.)  There is no way MORENA will win as many as 154 seats but PVEM and PT only win 6 seats each.

Is the Félix Salgado Macedonio scandal expected to have a significant effect, either in Guerrero or nationwide?

Massive Caller poll shows a drop in his lead but he is still ahead of PRI-PRD

Wow, seems like the PRI isn't doing very well this days. I always wondered, does it have any appeal with the newer generations? I can imagine it having support among older ones, the ones who always voted for "the traditional ruling party", but for young people, who grew up in democracy, and with Peña Nieto as their only priista president, how does a party as ancient and discredited manage to get their support?

See

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Mexican_protests also known as gasolinazo.  It was an attempt by PRI Prez Enrique Peña Nieto to liberalize the price of gasoline.  But that merely pushed whatever is left of the PRI youth vote away from PRI. 

Also the level of corruption among various PRI governors reached unprecedented levels during Nieto's rule also served to destroy the PRI levels of support. 

In the South a lot of the old PRI vote sent to MORENA and in the North they split between PAN and MORENA.

Thank God. Sucks that this was most likely for political expedience, but good that it’s happening.

Eurasia Group came out with a research report on Mexico midterms saying that they expect MORENA to outperform.  The summery of their report says:

1) Polls show Lopez Obrador’s approval ratings have increased, despite sharp economic and health crises

2) Eurasia’s basecase remains Morena losing its qualified majority but winning more than 50% of the seats in congress, “but we are increasing the odds of the ruling coalition maintaining its qualified majorities to 30% from 20%”

3) Optimism on vaccine front is growing; Morena should benefit from economic recovery

4) “Finally, with only 93 days before the election, the opposition still has not presented a credible narrative that could help it capture some of the discontent against the administration”

"AMLO prevails, endorses candidate accused of rape"

It seems after some review MORENA is still going to go ahead with Felix Salgado Macedonio candidacy in Guerrero.  Their internal polling must show him still ahead and calculating that backing down would mean the core MORENA vote might not turnout

Massive Caller poll for Guerrero 

MORENA's Felix Salgado Macedonio still ahead




In SLP PVEM takes the lead over PAN-PRI-PRD



Most other states MORENA if anything is widening his lead.  PAN is still ahead in Baja California Sur, Chihuahua and Querétaro while it is neck-to-neck between PRI and MORENA in Nuevo León but in the rest MORENA is well ahead.

It seems INE has revoked MORENA's Felix Salgado Macedonio candidacy.  What a mess.   I am sure he will challenge this so this is clearly not over yet

There was also a far right party that wanted to undo the 1917 anti-clerical reforms, and they were actually sort of relevant in the 1980s (winning seats in Congress being gifted seats thanks to PRI's good graces thankyouverymuch). They were a sort of PAN turned up to 11 but eventually ended up allying with the PRI which seems nuts until you realize that by then PRI had lost their anti-clericalism and pseudo-socialist posturing and all that was left was a homeopathic (and absurdly incompetent) version of Mussolini.
