A survey of Mexico by the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project, conducted April 14-May 6, finds 80% of Mexicans support using the army to fight drug traffickers, essentially unchanged from 83% in 2009.

Just over half (55%) of Mexicans say the army is making progress against the traffickers, while only 22% think it is losing ground and 21% believe things are about the same as they have been in the past.

There is also continuing support for American involvement in the battle against drug cartels, but opposition to the U.S. providing money and weapons to Mexican police and the deployment of U.S. troops in Mexico has increased.
