To determine the difference in percentage points earned by Andrés Manuel López Obrador in the 2018 election compared to the 2012 election, you'd compare the percentage of votes he received in each election.

In the 2012 election, López Obrador received approximately 31.6% of the vote. In the 2018 election, he received about 55.0% of the vote.
