A survey measured the image of Milei and Kicillof: The president won in 16 provinces

A new national survey once again showed a solid advantage for President Javier Milei over the ultra-Kirchnerist Axel Kicillof in the comparison of image at the national level.

According to a study by CB Global Data conducted between June 1 and June 4, the libertarian leader prevails in 16 of the 24 Argentine provinces, compared to 8 where the Buenos Aires governor holds sway.

The survey, based on between 900 and 1,193 cases per district and with a margin of error between 2.9% and 3.3%, confirms a favorable scenario for the ruling party of La Libertad Avanza. The result consolidates a trend that had already been evident in previous measurements.

For Cristian Buttié, director of CB Global Data, the result leaves no room for doubt. “Not only because of the number of provinces where the President prevails. The difference is also noticeable in districts like Córdoba, Mendoza, and Santa Fe, which Kicillof does not compensate for in Buenos Aires. Kicillof, at one point, seems to repeat Cristina's scheme in 2019: a high floor with a low ceiling, something that complicates the governor's federal projection,” he explained.

The data reinforces this reading. In Córdoba, the second province with the largest number of voters, Milei achieves a 53.1% positive image compared to Kicillof's 21%. In Mendoza, the difference is also striking: 52.7% against 22.7%. In Santa Fe, the President surpasses the governor by 17 points (42.8% to 25.8%), while in the City of Buenos Aires, the gap is over 7 points.

In addition to these provinces, there are other districts where Milei clearly prevails, such as San Luis, Salta, San Juan, Jujuy, Neuquén, Corrientes, Entre Ríos, Misiones, Chubut, and Santa Cruz, among others. This territorial dominance reinforces his federal positioning, a key aspect for any electoral projection.

In contrast, Kicillof manages to prevail in fewer districts and with less amplitude. His main strength remains the province of Buenos Aires, where he obtains an advantage of around 7 points in positive image. However, even in that territory, his overall performance shows weaknesses: with 42% positive image, he ranked last in the ranking of governors compiled by the same consultancy.

The governor also achieves better results in provinces like Santiago del Estero, Formosa, Catamarca, Tucumán, Chaco, Tierra del Fuego, and Río Negro. Nevertheless, these districts do not compensate for the wide difference that Milei builds in the rest of the country.

The survey thus confirms a political scenario where the President maintains a clear advantage in terms of image and territorial reach. With strong support in key provinces and significant differences in the main electoral districts, Milei consolidates his national leadership.

The breadth of the advantage and the territorial distribution of support position the President in a solid place within the Argentine political landscape, with a favorable projection towards the national elections of 2027
