Milei Returns and Accelerates Provincial Tour After Reported U.S. Support Steadies Markets

Polling shows his standing sliding, with a U.S.-backed market reprieve now fueling a leader‑centric push into key districts.

Overview

  • After landing Friday, Javier Milei set a weekend stop at La Rural and confirmed a Monday rally in Ushuaia to boost La Libertad Avanza candidates as he begins an intensive tour of provinces.
  • Reports credit a roughly USD 20 billion U.S. Treasury swap backed by President Donald Trump with halting a dollar run, while the government showcases consensus efforts through a revived Council of Mayo and new outreach to governors, including a Francos–Macri photo.
  • New surveys register deterioration in Milei’s image: RDT finds 51.5% disapproval and 34% approval nationally, and Tendencias shows Fuerza Patria leading in Buenos Aires Province 49.4% to 32.3%, with Karina Milei’s ratings also falling.
  • In Buenos Aires City, a Federico González y Asociados poll places Patricia Bullrich first for the Senate with 34.2% versus Mariano Recalde’s 24.8%, and shows a tight Chamber race with Alejandro Fargosi at 22.3%, Itai Hagman at 20.1% and Martín Lousteau at 17.3%.
  • Campaign turbulence persists as LLA’s Fargosi withdraws from an Oct. 8 TN debate and both major coalitions grapple with internal frictions, even as the ruling party centers Milei’s image and plans an Oct. 6 book event at Movistar Arena.
