WORLD NEWS: Javier Milei’s approval falls and rejection exceeds 60%, according to surveys
According to recent reports, the following story has emerged from the international scene.
The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, registers a drop in his approval level, according to the latest public opinion surveys at the national level. According to a survey by the Brazilian consulting firm AtlasIntel, 63% of Argentines disapprove of his management, while 35.5% approve, which consolidates a clear majority of negative evaluations. The trend reflects a sustained deterioration in public perception of the president, with a progressive increase in disapproval in recent months, according to the historical series of the report. Along the same lines, the Government’s general evaluation also presents a negative bias: 59.3% of those surveyed consider that management is bad or very bad, compared to 30.6% who rate it as good or excellent.

Along the same lines, a survey by the consulting firm Zuban Córdoba y Asociados states that disapproval of the presidential administration reached 64.5%, while approval stood at 34.3%. The report also indicates that 71.2% of those surveyed believe a change of Government is necessary and warns about the consolidation of a negative trend in the evaluation of the extreme right administration.

Within the ruling party itself, the image of its main figures also reflects tensions. The Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, appears as the best positioned leader in the space, with a negative image of 55.5%, below that of President Milei, who reaches 60.6%.

This deterioration in public perception occurs in a context of recent controversies. In particular, the so-called “Adorni case” included questions and investigations about the official’s travel, expenses and assets.

On the other hand, the governor of the Province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, presents a more balanced scenario, with a 45.2% positive image compared to a 46.3% negative image, which places him as one of the leaders with the best relative performance today.
