Popular belief is that Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador won by at least 10%. However, it's impossible to tell just be the sheer amount of illegal stuff that happened.
Unfortunately, a lot of media outlets believe the corrupted officials that have delcared Peña Nieto the winner.
Here's the thing, if Peña Nieto really won, where were the big parties in his favor? Marches in his favor? Mexicans like celebrating every little thing, we don't need much to cause a huge ruckus in the city's plazas. So, where are this guy's parades? Nowhere, just an enormous, worldwide protest against him. In fact, it's not so much a march, it's like a party against him, the PRI, Televisa, the IFE, etc. There's so much dancing, music, singing, it's a festival!
