A new survey conducted by AtlasIntel and Bloomberg shows a significant rise in disapproval of Argentine President Javier Milei, reaching 57%, which is his lowest approval rating since October 2024. This dip in public support comes despite Milei's recent political victories in Congress, where he managed to regain political initiative and weaken the Peronist party, a major opponent in the political landscape.

In response to the shifting political dynamics and opposition crises, Milei has adopted an aggressive strategy, targeting prominent business leaders and reigniting tensions with the Argentine Football Association's president, Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia, who is currently under scrutiny for allegations related to financial mismanagement. This combative approach signifies Milei’s intent to maintain control and navigate through the political challenges posed by ongoing public dissatisfaction with his administration.

Corruption has been highlighted as the primary concern for Argentines, overshadowing other political issues. As Milei seeks to consolidate his power and confront corruption allegations affecting other leaders, public sentiment threatens to complicate his governance. With his disapproval rating at an all-time high, the political landscape in Argentina remains volatile, and the implications of these findings could influence both Milei’s domestic policies and future electoral strategies.
