PALMA, Esperanza. Who supports to parties in Mexico? An analysis of partisan social bases after the democratic alternation. Polis [online]. 2006, vol.2, n.2, pp.13-49. ISSN 2594-0686.

The purpose of this essay is to analyze the social foundations of the three principal political parties in Mexico after the 2000 election, by taking into account variables such as the personal income, education, the level of political information of citizenship, the perceptions towards the presidency of Vicente Fox and the position concerning democracy, among others. For this revision, it is used a national survey sponsored by IFE and UAM-A in 2004. The basic assumptions are as follow: the universe of partisan supporters has decreased dramatically after the year 2000, and that the social and cultural cleavages during the democratization period still explain the partisan diversity.

Keywords : Political parties; Partisan and no partisan supporters; PAN; PRI; PRD; political trust; social cleavages.
