New survey: alert for Javier Milei and a harsh data point for Cristina Kirchner

A new national survey reveals concerning data for President Javier Milei and former President Cristina Kirchner amidst ongoing political tensions in Argentina.

A national survey conducted by controversial political consultant Jorge Giacobbe reveals significant challenges for both President Javier Milei and former President Cristina Kirchner as Argentina navigates a turbulent political landscape. The survey, encompassing 2,500 cases collected from January 27 to February 2, highlights public sentiment on key reforms being discussed in the national Congress, with a margin of error of +/- 2%.

Giacobbe's survey indicates a divided public opinion regarding proposed reforms, showcasing a complex electoral climate. In terms of labor reform, 45.6% of respondents support the initiative while 42.7% oppose it, showcasing a slim majority in favor but potential for backlash. The findings for tax reform show a lower approval rating at 36.4%, indicating considerable resistance among the populace, while pension reform reflects the closest divide with 32.1% support and 35.6% opposition. These figures underline the substantial challenges the current administration faces in implementing its legislative agenda.

The results hold particular significance for the political future of both Milei and Kirchner. The impact of these reforms on public perception is critical, especially as they navigate the significant ideological schisms in Argentine society. With a strong anti-K stance, Giacobbe’s findings may influence the strategy of the Milei administration while posing serious questions about Kirchner's political viability and the potential for renewed discourse and conflicts in the lead-up to future elections.
