Some 63 percent of Mexicans disapprove of President Enrique Peña Nieto's performance, according to a poll taken by the daily El Universal, his worst result since the beginning of his six-year term at the end of 2012.

According to the survey taken between June 24-28, the number of citizens who disapprove of Peña Nieto's work increased 7 percentage points since March, when the last such poll was published.

Some 29 percent of respondents said they "very much" or "somewhat" approve of his presidency, while the other 8 percent "neither approve nor disapprove" of his work.

Judging the measures undertaken by the Mexican chief executive, citizens said that 74 percent were negative and 36 percent were positive.

At the same time, 67 percent believe the country is headed in a "bad/very bad" direction, the most negative response to that question since 2008 when Felipe Calderon was still in power.
