Argentina poll shows President Milei's approval slipping below former President Macri

Two recent surveys reveal a deepening political divide in Argentina and a continued decline in President Javier Milei's popularity. QSocial's July 2026 report maps the electorate into three roughly equal blocks: a liberal‑conservative segment (36%) that largely backs Milei, a progressive‑statist segment (34%) that overwhelmingly opposes him, and a decisive mixed bloc (30%) that does not identify with any party. The study notes broad consensuses on fiscal balance (61% support) and opposition to privatizations, labor reform and tighter ties with Washington.

A second poll indicates Milei’s approval has fallen below the low point recorded for former President Mauricio Macri at a comparable stage of his term. While some respondents remain optimistic about the macro‑economic outlook, they rate the president harshly, especially in urban centers and among the working‑class middle class. Analysts warn that the erosion of Milei’s political capital could hinder the governing coalition’s ability to negotiate with governors and could shape the outcome of upcoming legislative elections.
