Americans’ attitudes towards Mexico have dropped to a record low since President Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration, according to a new survey conducted for the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

The survey also shows that majorities of Americans and Mexicans agree on one major issue — that their governments should tighten security at the border separating them.

The survey, which was quietly released before Obama flew to Mexico for a Feb. 19 summit, shows that Americans’ opinion of Mexico has dropped from a nearly neutral level of 46 points in 2010 to a decidedly negative view of 36 points this February.

A score of 50 points marks a neutral attitude on the 100-point scale. In 1994, the U.S. attitude towards Mexico reached a positive level of 57 percent.

Today’s 36-point level is a record low, according to the survey, released Feb. 3.
