Two Years In, Milei Faces a Split Public as Approval Ticks Up and Security Fears Rise

New national surveys show a narrow post-legislative rebound for the government, with insecurity overtaking inflation in public worry.

Overview

  • Overall approval rose from 42% to 46% in a D'Alessio IROL/Berensztein poll conducted Nov. 28–30, reflecting a four-point post-legislative uptick.
  • Support remains sharply polarized, with approval among La Libertad Avanza voters reported as high as 88%–95% versus about 1% among Fuerza Patria supporters.
  • A Dec. 1–5 national survey finds 52% say Argentina is headed in the wrong direction, while 34% expect conditions to improve within six months.
  • Economic strain is widespread: 61% say government measures hurt their finances, 32% do not reach month-end, 16% borrow, and 13% draw on savings.
  • Insecurity returned to the top concern with an eight-point rise, as poverty, unemployment and corruption also rank high and inflation places fifth.
