Polls Put Argentina’s Midterms in a Dead Heat as Milei’s Ratings Slide

Luis Petri confirms an Oct. 9 Mendoza visit, signaling a late‑campaign push to steady support.

Overview

  • New Analogías polling shows a technical tie, with LLA’s potential vote at 38.9% and the Peronist slate at 37.8%, as government approval hits its lowest level of the year.
  • Management & Fit reports Milei’s positive image at 37.4%, the lowest since he took office, with 53.6% disapproval and corruption rising to the top public concern.
  • In the disability‑agency case, 60.1% assign responsibility to Milei, and RDT finds 9.5% of respondents say the leaked audios would change their vote, largely among soft or volatile voters.
  • Economic strain remains decisive in voter attitudes, with survey data showing most households struggling to cover expenses and assessing their personal finances negatively.
  • Defense Minister Luis Petri defends ministry purchases as public tenders, calls the audios a political operation, confirms Milei’s Oct. 9 stop in San Rafael, and highlights a recent New York meeting with President Donald Trump and publicized U.S. financial backing.
