Javier Milei's positive image is greater than CFK's in 22 out of 24 provinces.

A recent survey shows clear support for President Javier Milei in almost all jurisdictions of the country.

Argentinian politics remains marked by a deep divide, and if this division were summed up in a confrontation between President Javier Milei and the corruption-convicted Cristina Kirchner, the libertarian's advantage would be overwhelming.

According to a recent survey by CB Consultora Opinión Pública, the head of state enjoys a significantly superior image compared to the Kirchnerist leader in almost the entire country, with a resounding result of 22 to 2 in his favor in the 24 provinces.

The report, conducted between March 1 and 4 and based on between 629 and 898 interviews per province, shows a clear support for Milei in almost all jurisdictions of the country.

Meanwhile, the president has a positive image above 50% in 16 provinces and a majority negative image in only five, Cristina Kirchner only surpasses that threshold in Santiago del Estero and faces a widespread rejection in 22 districts.

Milei dominates across the country

The survey reflects that where Milei is strong, Cristina is weak, and vice versa, although with a trend clearly favorable to the president. A paradigmatic case is Córdoba, historically adverse to Kirchnerism, where Milei reaches a 63.7% positive image against a 33.7% negative, giving him a favorable balance of 30 points.

In contrast, Cristina Kirchner only achieves a 17.5% support and her rejection climbs to 80.2%, leaving her with a negative balance of -62.7 points.

The only solid stronghold for the corrupt former president is Santiago del Estero, where she obtains a 58.3% positive image and 37.1% negative. However, the electoral weight of this province is considerably less than that of key districts like Buenos Aires or Córdoba, minimizing the impact of her strength there.

In Formosa, another province with strong Peronist dominance, Cristina manages to prevail, but just by a narrow margin: 47.8% positive against 47.3% negative, while Milei ends with a 44.2% approval and 52% rejection.

In Buenos Aires

One of the most alarming data for Kirchnerism is that Milei's image also surpasses that of Cristina Kirchner in the province of Buenos Aires, her historical stronghold.

Although both leaders have more negative than positive images in this territory, the libertarian stands with a 46.4% approval and a 50.8% rejection, while the former president falls even further with 41.5% positive and 56.3% negative.

In other key districts, like Mendoza and the City of Buenos Aires, the difference is also categorical. Mendoza is the province where Milei receives the most support, with a 64% positive image, while Cristina Kirchner barely achieves 20.3%.

In CABA, although Milei doesn't reach the support levels of other districts, he remains above the former president, with a 48.4% positive image against Cristina's 25%.

This scenario reinforces the idea that the Milei phenomenon is not limited to a Buenos Aires electorate, but his strength lies in the country's interior, where his disruptive discourse has deeply resonated with the citizenry.

Meanwhile, Cristina Kirchner's image continues to deteriorate, leaving Kirchnerism with serious difficulties in rebuilding its leadership for the future.
