MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Public support for Mexican opposition senator Xochitl Galvez has risen since she declared her intention last week to seek the presidency in 2024, an opinion poll showed on Wednesday.

Galvez's entry into the fray has enlivened media interest in the opposition's hopes of competing with the leftist ruling National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) in the June 2024 election to succeed President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
