Argentina: Javier Milei faces rising disapproval and economic discontent
Multiple recent opinion polls indicate a significant decline in popularity for Argentine President Javier Milei, particularly among younger demographics. Data from AtlasIntel shows disapproval reaching 76.9% among those aged 16 to 24 and 71.9% among those aged 25 to 34. This shift follows widespread protests against land ownership laws and economic austerity measures.
Economic concerns are a primary driver of public dissatisfaction. A study by the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) reports that 59% of citizens view the country's economic situation as bad or very bad, citing unemployment, low wages, and insecurity as top priorities. Additionally, 61% of respondents in the UBA study expressed a desire for a change in government by 2027.
Other polling data presents a complex electoral landscape. While Zuban Córdoba indicates that 58% of voters favor a change in government, La Libertad Avanza maintains a lead in some preference surveys, albeit with a narrowing margin against opposition figures like Axel Kicillof. Public sentiment is also marked by widespread pessimism, with many citizens reporting feelings of sadness, discouragement, or anger regarding the current administration.
