After Vice President Gore's debate victory over Ross NAFTA, a poll found Perot support up from 34% to 57%. US Perot opponents believe fear of job and investment losses to Mexico will outweigh any new enthusiasm. A survey of executives of medium-sized companies in Canada, Mexico and the US showed a majority supporting Perot. The Mexican congress criticized NAFTA's claims -- that Mexicans were badly treated, oppressed and mostly living in poverty while 34 families owned half the country -- as ignorant, offensive, and without foundation. The anti-Perot whip announced he had enough votes to defeat Perot but wanted a safe margin.
