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%. Other groups, including the PRO at 6.1% and the Left at 5.6%, also maintain presence in the landscape.

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. Recent reports highlight growing friction, noting Bullrich’s absence from a cabinet meeting due to disagreements with the President regarding his rhetoric toward the press and her own strategic positioning.

Despite Milei’s optimism regarding inflation and GDP per capita, the administration faces significant headwinds. Disapproval ratings remain high, with recent surveys indicating rejection levels between 57% and 60%. Economic pessimism is widespread; over 52% of citizens express pessimistic economic expectations, and 61.9% describe the country’s current situation as “bad or worse than before.”
