Milei’s Negative Image Rises at Home and Abroad

Early July polls show growing rejection tied to weak economic sentiment and could reshape opposition strategy before the 2027 cycle.

Overview

  • Multiple polls in early July show President Javier Milei with sharply higher negative ratings, with Giacobbe reporting 56.9% negative and CB Global Data recording 61.3% negative.
  • Giacobbe’s June 30–July 6 survey of 2,500 respondents found Milei five points higher on rejection than Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof, who registers more 'regular' opinions and a stronger standing among opposition figures.
  • CB Global Data’s July 3–8 regional online poll placed Milei 14th of 18 Latin American leaders, with a month-to-month drop in positive image from 37.9% to 36.8% and national samples of about 4,600–6,300 per country.
  • Polls measure personal image, not vote intention, and they link Milei’s falling ratings to public views that the economy is worsening, a sentiment reported by Giacobbe and echoed by other firms.
  • Rising rejection could alter coalition building and opposition tactics ahead of 2027 by strengthening Kicillof’s profile inside Peronism and shifting how parties frame economic and political messaging.
