Milei’s Approval Dips to 44% as Public Opinion Remains Polarized

Consultora Giacobbe’s July survey shows negative ratings rising to 48%, highlighting a ‘tolerable pain threshold’ in views on the president’s economic measures

Overview

  • July’s Giacobbe poll of 2,500 respondents records a 4-point drop in Javier Milei’s positive image to 44%, with 48% viewing him negatively and 6.5% rating him as “regular.”
  • Support and opposition have hovered in a narrow 44–50% band in recent months, underscoring a stable yet divided electorate.
  • The survey was conducted July 24–28 and carries a 2% margin of error.
  • In a late-June study, 43.2% of Argentines judged Milei’s economic reforms sensible while 39.2% rejected the path and 15.5% expressed doubt about their effectiveness.
  • Analyst Jorge Giacobbe describes the ratings as “scratches but no cracks,” reflecting voters’ willingness to endure short-term hardship in hopes of economic gains.
