The Trends consultant published a detailed report on a new survey, where they focused on the Public opinion on the current administration of Javier Milei and political actors in general, as well as in the economic situation of the countryincluding the savings capacity of Argentine society and the comparison with the previous year.
From Tendencias, they highlighted that the survey had a drop in moderate responses in the 6874 cases covered online. This leads the study to greater polarization, between those who are for or against the government in power.
The study made a comparison between February, May and August to measure the image of the libertarian management. This month, 41.5% were against Mileiwhich added to a 5.5% of regular negative, gives a total of 47% rejectionin view of 53% positive. It should be noted that these numbers reflect an unfavorable increase for the Government, since there is a 3% growth compared to May.

Compared to May, the number of respondents who felt their economic situation had worsened during the libertarian government’s term in office increased. We can see an increase of 11.1%, and a decrease of 4.4% in those who felt “just as bad.”

This number reflects an increase in distrust towards the libertarian, since in May 23.4% of those who blamed him for the economy, recording an increase of 8.2%. This means that Many of the people who blamed both leaders turned their criticism toward the current administration.
