Argentine political landscape and electoral trends

Overview

Recent political polling and electoral developments in Argentina indicate a complex landscape for the current administration and opposition. Reports from CB Global Data show varying approval ratings among provincial leaders, with Rolando Figueroa of Neuquén holding a 55.8% positive image. Looking toward future elections, consultancy Afiches suggests President Javier Milei may face challenges in a 2027 runoff against Peronist figures such as Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Sergio Massa, and Axel Kicillof. The data highlights a significant segment of “non-polarized” voters, estimated between 26% and 55%, who have not yet aligned with major political blocs.

As the 2027 presidential race approaches, polling indicates an increasingly tight competition. An analysis of eleven national surveys places Milei at 42.2% and Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof at 38.9% in a potential runoff. When grouped by coalitions, La Libertad Avanza (LLA) holds approximately 32.8% of voting intention, while the Peronist/Kirchnerist movement follows with 28.4%.

Internal tensions within the ruling coalition have intensified. Senator Patricia Bullrich has signaled presidential ambitions through a social media campaign titled ‘Plan B’, sparking speculation regarding a potential rupture with President Milei. While some sectors of LLA discuss a Milei–Bullrich presidential formula to broaden support, others report friction concerning Bullrich’s autonomy and her relationship with the President’s inner circle.

Despite Milei’s optimism regarding inflation and GDP per capita, the administration faces significant headwinds, including a disapproval rating of approximately 57% and reports of declining consumption and private sector job losses. Meanwhile, the Peronist opposition is refining strategies to capitalize on the economic recession and rising country risk, focusing on consolidating support in the Province of Buenos Aires.
