As Donald Trump continues to take jabs at Mexico, a new poll shows the left-leaning presidential front-runner for the country’s upcoming election—who just denounced the U.S. president’s foreign policy and “contemptuous attitude toward Mexicans” —with an 18-point lead.

According to the poll by Parametría, former Mexico City mayor Andrés Manuel López Obrador of the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) holds 38 percent of the vote, showing a clear advantage over second-place Ricardo Anaya of the conservative National Action Party-led left-right coalition and third-place Jose Antonio Meade of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).

“Lopez Obrador is breaking his ceiling … he’s growing in a way that wasn’t expected,” said Parametría founder Francisco Abundis.

Speaking Sunday in the border town of Ciudad Juarez at the official launch of this third presidential bid, López Obrador, also known by his initials, AMLO, said, “We are going to be very respectful toward the United States government, but we are also going to demand that (the U.S.) respect Mexicans.”

“Neither Mexico nor its people will be the piñata of any foreign government,” he said.
