MEXICO CITY, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Former Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum held a comfortable advantage in the race to be the leftist ruling party's 2024 presidential nominee, according to an opinion poll published on Tuesday, the eve of the announcement of the winner.
A telephone survey published by newspaper El Financiero, using the same methodology chosen by the ruling National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) to select its candidate, put Sheinbaum at 36% support, followed by former Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard at 25%.
The Sept. 1-2 survey polled 500 Mexican adults and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points. Sheinbaum's advantage was wider than the seven-point lead she held in an El Financiero poll conducted July 28-29.
MORENA will on Wednesday announce who will be its candidate to succeed President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, based on national polling over the past week that gives a 75% weighting to the question of who is the preferred choice.
