Milei sweeps among young people: A survey places him at 48% voting intention

The report also explored which personalities generate the greatest connection with young people, and among figures such as Elon Musk, Marcos Galperín, and Donald Trump, Santiago Caputo, a strategist close to the president, emerged as one of the names with strong symbolic presence. This fact is significant, as it points to a change in the aspirational role models of new generations, now leaning toward anti-establishment, successful profiles far removed from the traditional political apparatus.

Milei's advantage among young people is even wider than in the general electorate. According to a previous analysis by Clarín of 10 national surveys, La Libertad Avanza leads with 38.7% compared to 26% for Kirchnerism. When focusing on those under 35, the gap widens to 27 points.

The scenario presents a historic opportunity for the ruling party, which could consolidate its strength in Congress if this youth support translates into votes in October. Milei, far from being a passing phenomenon, appears to be consolidating a new political culture among those who will later lead the country's future.

A new survey ahead of the October legislative elections confirms what is already perceived in the streets, on social media, and in academic centers: the historic support of young people for President Javier Milei not only remains firm, but is growing strongly.

The study, conducted by the consulting firm Reyes-Filadoro together with Enter Comunicación, shows that La Libertad Avanza (LLA), the movement led by the Argentine president, reaches 48% voting intention among citizens aged 18 to 35 years, while Unión por la Patria is left behind with just 21%.

The research, which included 730 online interviews and exhaustive monitoring of social media, leaves no doubt about the libertarian phenomenon among new generations. In a country historically marked by the predominance of left-wing ideas among young people, the shift toward a more libertarian mindset, focused on the defense of individual freedoms, free trade, and rejection of the left, is becoming increasingly evident.

Milei's image, moreover, is solidified with a 59% positive rating in this age group, with a remarkable 40% rating his administration as "very good." Support grows even more among men (65%) and among those who voted for Milei in 2023 (94%). Even among voters of Patricia Bullrich in the last presidential election, 62% evaluate the current president positively.

Beyond the electoral figures, the survey reveals a key fact: young people, after decades of economic crises, are beginning to view the country's economic future with optimism. When asked how they imagine the economy a year from now, a resounding 57% believe it will be the same or better, an indicator of confidence that contrasts with the opposition's attempt to instill supposed pessimism.
