Javier Milei’s administration is facing a critical moment. After almost ten months of management, the President is beginning to feel the effects of the “shock” economic measures applied and his positive image is showing a decline in the polls. According to several recent reports, the opinion of the president has dropped by 7 points. On the other hand, reports have recorded a “anger” of society towards the Government arising from the idea of ”anti-politics” after the barbecue to celebrate the “87 heroes” who supported the veto of pensions in Congress.
after the publication of a survey by the consulting firm Poliarquía, which revealed worrying data for the ruling party. The president’s positive image dropped by 7 points during September, reaching a record of 40%, compared to 47% the previous month. This decline occurs in a context where economic concerns, led by unemployment, are beginning to weigh increasingly on public opinion.
The Poliarquía report, carried out under the direction of Alejandro Catterberg and Eduardo Fidanza, highlights that the fear of Unemployment has surpassed inflation cs the main concern of Argentines. One in two respondents says that the increase in public service rates significantly affects their financial situation, and 29% already hold libertarian policies directly responsible for the economic crisis.
A Poliarquía analyst pointed out that Milei’s image “shows sustained wear and tear, influenced by the recession and his confrontational style”The loss of support has been particularly pronounced among those over 60, following the presidential veto on retirement mobility.
In addition to the deterioration in the president’s image, the study reflects a 2-point drop in approval of his management, which now stands at 53%, while disapproval increased 4 points, reaching 47%. This is the highest negative rate since the beginning of the libertarian government, after eight months of stability.
The survey also reveals a 7-point increase in negative perceptions of the country’s situation, and pessimism about the economy has grown significantly: unfavorable opinions about the economic outlook rose 9 points, reaching 53%. In turn, the Citizen Optimism Index, which measures the population’s expectations, fell by 8 points.
Among the factors driving this social unrest are increases in utility and transportation rates. “People are demanding that increases in electricity prices be stopped,” said one of the consulting firm’s analysts.
As for social concerns, Unemployment tops the list with 18%, displacing inflation, which is now a concern at 14%. In third place is low purchasing power with 7%.
Another alarming fact for Milei is the progress of the image of Vice President Victoria Villarruel, who now has a 42% approval rating, surpassing the president by 2 points and with a positive differential of 16 points, the highest in the political panorama.
Finally, the survey shows that La Libertad Avanza, while still leading the voting intention with 35%, has lost 4 points in September. In contrast, Peronism has grown in all its forms, with Kirchnerism reaching 16% and non-Kirchnerist Peronism rising to 12%, surpassing PRO for the first time, which fell to 10%.
