New Polls Boost Milei’s Standing but Expose a Soft Center and Emerging Strains

Broad economic approval meets a soft, undecided center.

Overview

  • A new DC Consultores survey of 1,915 people conducted Jan. 10–12 finds 62.24% say the government’s economic course is correct, with 21.43% partially agreeing and 16.33% opposed.
  • Opina Argentina’s early‑January polling reported by El Cronista shows La Libertad Avanza leading voting intention at 44% versus a combined peronism at 35%.
  • The same Opina study identifies a 17% “Ni‑Ni” bloc that is strongly anti‑Kirchner (82% disapprove of Cristina Kirchner) yet less than half of that group (46%) approves of Javier Milei.
  • Milei’s personal image remains highly polarized in Opina’s data, with 48% positive and 51% negative.
  • Clarín’s analysis highlights labor‑market stress, citing more than 70,000 job losses between June and October and rising informal employment, while commentary warns Milei lacks a durable, fervent base.
