Resumen
[EN]The measurement of the degree of agreement in a group has recently attrac-
ted considerable attention by researchers from various elds. In this paper
we consider situations where each member of a population classi es a list
of options as either \acceptable" or \non-acceptable" (as in job committees
or elections by approval voting); either \agree" or \disagree" (as in polls or
surveys); either \guilty" or \not guilty" (as in jury courts); etc. In order to
measure the cohesiveness that the expression of such dichotomous opinions
conveys, we propose the novel concept of approval consensus measure (ACM),
which does not refer to any priors of the agents like preferences or other
decision-making processes. Then we give axiomatic characterizations of two
generic classes of ACMs. Finally, we focus on the 2012 presidential elections
in USA as a real scenario to put in practice these two proposals
