Recent polls show a rise in rejection of Javier Milei
Two surveys published by C5N recorded a majority disapproval of the presidential administration and a rising negative image. They also show signs of deterioration in perceptions of the economy and the government's direction.
Two polls cited by C5N reflect an adverse scenario for Javier Milei one year ahead of the presidential elections. One of the studies, by Atlas Intel together with Bloomberg, conducted between August 30 and September 3, found that 58% disapprove of the President’s performance, compared with 38.1% who approve.
According to that same survey, 52.7% rated the national administration as bad or very bad, while 31.5% described it as excellent or good. In addition, Milei’s personal image showed a decline in positive ratings, which fell from 39% to 35%, and an increase in negative ratings, from 59% to 62%.
C5N also highlighted that disapproval is higher among women, at 65.9%, compared with 49.2% among men. The strongest rejection, according to Atlas Intel, is concentrated in the 35 to 44 age group, where it reaches 66.5%.
The other study mentioned by that outlet, QMonitor by QSocial Big Data for August, placed approval of the administration at 34% and disapproval at 61%. It also added other indicators: 63% believed the government does not have the capacity to solve the country’s main problems and 73% said it governs only for certain sectors.
On the economic front, C5N noted that 49% believe the situation will worsen in the next six months. In addition, according to QSocial, 64% reject the idea that official policies are necessary even if they entail short-term costs, while 34% agree.
The surveys also measured opposition figures. In the Atlas Intel poll, Myriam Bregman appeared with 43% positive image and 51% negative; Cristina Kirchner, with 39% and 55%; Patricia Bullrich, with 38% and 55%; and Axel Kicillof, with 36% and 55%. Milei trailed those leaders, with 35% positive image and 62% negative.
For its part, QSocial indicated, as reproduced by C5N, that Axel Kicillof was mentioned by 32% of respondents as the main opposition leader. Cristina Kirchner reached 23%, Myriam Bregman 6% and Sergio Massa 2%, while another 23% did not identify any opposition figure.
