Two years after taking office at Casa Rosada, President Javier Milei keeps high approval levels and consolidates his political position looking ahead. According to a survey by the consulting firm Poliarquía, 54% of Argentines approve of his administration, while 41% state that they would support him in a possible reelection bid in 2027.
The study also reveals that 42% of respondents give a positive assessment of the first half of the presidential term. This is a relevant figure in a context of deep reforms, fiscal adjustment, and state reorganization driven by the national government since December 2023. In addition, 50% of Argentines state that they are confident that 2026 will be a better year for the country, a sign of recovering expectations after years of stagnation.

Although support for a possible reelection is high, Poliarquía clarifies that it is below the level that Mauricio Macri had in 2017, when 51% supported his continuity. In Milei's case, rejection of a second candidacy reaches 48%, while 11% still haven't defined their position. That undecided segment appears as one of the main political challenges for the ruling party over the next two years.
Recent electoral results serve as additional backing for the President. In the legislative elections last October, the ruling party managed to prevail at the national level with 40.7% of the vote and won in 15 districts. It even achieved a victory in the province of Buenos Aires, a territory that has historically been adverse for non-Peronist forces, which strengthened La Libertad Avanza's political projection.
The economy emerges as the central pillar of social support. 45% of those surveyed identify economic management as the government's main achievement. Security follows with 15%, and justice with 8%. In contrast, the lack of investment in public works appears as the main criticism, especially among opposition voters.

Another key finding of the survey is the improvement in the social climate. Unlike 2023, when concern and uncertainty predominated during the final stretch of Alberto Fernández's government, today feelings such as hope and calm are gaining ground. 51% believe that the country's situation has improved since Milei took office, and a similar proportion believes that this trend will continue in 2026.
In summary, Poliarquía's survey shows a president who, despite the natural wear and tear of holding power, retains a solid core of social support, manages to reverse negative perceptions, and keeps his chances of political continuity open in a scenario that, for now, is favorable to him.
