The most recent national survey of Argentina thinks showed a complex political scenario for the government headed by Javier Milei. The survey, carried out during May 2026 on a representative national sample of citizens over 16 years of age, reflected that the ruling party managed to stop the deterioration that it had been registering since the beginning of the year, although it still faces significant difficulties in terms of public image and social trust.
As highlighted by the consulting firm, the main indicators stopped falling and showed stabilization after several months marked by the impact of allegations of corruption, political conflicts and the wear and tear of management. Although Javier Milei continues to be part of the group of leaders with the highest level of public knowledge and retains a considerable core of support, the results showed that he no longer exhibits the advantage that he knew he had during much of 2024 and 2025.
The consulting firm Facundo Nejamkis He also observed that the moderate segments continue to shrink, while intensely favorable and intensely negative opinions grow. This observation was demonstrated in the question “From 1 to 10, how do you rate Javier Milei?”, in which 53% evaluated him with 1, 2% with 2, 3% with 3, 2% with 4, 3% with 5, 3% with 6, 4% with 7, 9% with 8, 6% with 9 and 13% with 10.
The work also evaluated the perception of figures from the ruling party and the opposition. Within the libertarian universe, the leader who showed the best relative records was Patricia Bullrich, who appears consolidated as one of the leaders with the best public evaluation of the governing space. Various polls in recent months, including those analyzed by national media, place Bullrich even above Milei in some positive image indicators, a phenomenon that is explained by the strong support it retains among center-right voters and sectors concerned about security.
Among the opponents, figures such as Axel Kicillof, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Myriam Bregman They are positioned as the leaders with the best image differential in the country, the product of a highly consolidated positive assessment among their voters and a growth in their public knowledge. The Buenos Aires governor continues to be the main opposition leader with presidential projection towards 2027, while the former president maintains high levels of support within the Peronist electorate despite also maintaining one of the highest levels of rejection in the political system.
The former Minister of Economy maintained a rating that reflected 40% with 1, 3% with 2, 3% with 3, 2% with 4, 5% with 5, 3% with 6, 6% with 7, 9% with 8, 7% with 9 and 19% with 10. An evaluation with a much more positive result compared to that obtained with the national leader.
On the other hand, according to the report published by Opina Argentina, seven out of ten consulted considered that Manuel Adorni He should leave his position while the judicial investigations progress. The data became one of the main focuses of political attention because it shows that the impact of the scandals exceeds the opposition sectors and also reaches voters who supported the ruling party in recent elections.
The study concludes that the Argentine political scene entered a stage of greater competitiveness. Unlike what happened a year ago, when Milei appeared clearly above the rest of the national leaders, the current photograph shows a more fragmented map, with the ruling party and the opposition disputing similar spaces of influence and with leaders such as Bullrich, Kicillof, Kirchner and Bregman achieving levels of visibility and valuation capable of challenging the political leadership of the President.
