A new poll confirms a decline in Milei's image and brings two key data points for 2027
A new national poll indicates that President Javier Milei's popularity is declining following a peak after the legislative elections in 2025.
A recent national poll reveals that President Javier Milei of Argentina is experiencing a decline in his approval ratings after a significant boost in popularity following his strong electoral victory in late 2025. According to the poll conducted by Jorge Giacobbe, a well-known consultant criticized for his severe stance against Peronism, 2,500 individuals from across the country were interviewed between February 23 and 27, showing a margin of error of +/- 2%. Despite Milei's diminishing image, the ruling party has not yet seen any benefits as no opposition leader or party has managed to capitalize on this decline.
The poll highlights not only Milei's falling popularity but also presents a ranking of political leaders and visual representations of public opinion, particularly focusing on the ideological divide in Argentina, known as 'la grieta,' as the country prepares for the presidential elections in 2027. These results could serve as critical indicators for the political landscape as various factions attempt to position themselves ahead of the upcoming elections.
Milei's administration will need to address this downturn as public perception can greatly influence political stability and governance. With the elections approaching, understanding voter sentiment becomes essential. The data may signal potential shifts in political alliances and strategies as both the government and opposition contemplate how to respond to the evolving dynamics of public opinion in Argentina.
