Argentine public opinion and political sentiment

Overview

Public sentiment in Argentina shows a complex relationship with the administration of Javier Milei. Recent polling from CEOP Latam and Pulsar UBA indicates a strong cultural preference for state intervention, with 77% of respondents believing the State should be responsible for social welfare and 76.5% supporting active economic intervention. These studies suggest that the libertarian principles of the current government have not achieved widespread acceptance, as 57% of the population prefers a State that reduces economic disparities.

Digital engagement trends show a slight improvement in social media sentiment for President Milei in September, as the gap between positive and negative mentions narrowed by 10 points. This shift was driven by an August inflation rate of 1.7% and his address to the United Nations. However, negative mentions continued to predominate for the eighth consecutive month, accounting for 46.2% of the conversation. Concurrently, Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof increased his digital presence, recording 580,000 mentions in September, a 27% increase from August.

A significant gender gap has emerged in public support. A University of Buenos Aires (UBA) survey reveals that nearly 70% of women reject the current administration, with 68% calling for a change in government. In contrast, 53% of men support the continuation of the libertarian government. Economic perceptions also diverge by gender: 61% of women view the economy negatively, compared to 47% of men. Within the administration, officials have expressed concern regarding the political impact of Milei’s public confrontations with women, fearing this dissatisfaction could influence future reelection efforts.
