Argentina is tired of radical marketeer Milei 0 10

A survey conducted by Qmonitor shows that 53% of Argentinians disapprove of the president's performance, while 45% approve. This figure indicates a shift in direction compared to December 2025, when approval exceeded disapproval. At that time, 51% of respondents supported Milei's administration, meaning approval has decreased by 6 percentage points.

The study was conducted on a sample of 1,645 people across the country from February 8 to 24. It notes a pronounced geographical difference in relation to the president: in Greater Buenos Aires, disapproval reaches 72%, while in the interior regions of the country, approval is higher at 51%. In the city of Buenos Aires, the results are more balanced: 55% disapprove of the president's performance, while 44% approve.

The Civil Support Index is declining

One of the key indicators in the report is the Civil Support Index (IAC), which measures parameters such as the honesty of officials and their ability to solve problems, on a scale from 1 to 10. In February, the index was lowered and recorded at 4.1 points, which was also the same level in October and November of last year and below the 4.4 recorded in January.

Political segmentation indicates a high level of polarization. Supporters of Milei give almost the maximum rating — 7.7 points, while the segments of Peronism and leftist politics barely reach 1.3 and 1.1 respectively. The PRO party receives 5.3.

Do Argentinians consider Milei's policies "necessary but painful"?

Regarding the assessment of government policy, 55% of respondents expressed opposition, while 40% supported his measures.

Responding to the statement "policy is necessary, even if it is painful in the short term," 42% of Argentinians expressed agreement (combining "strongly" and "somewhat"), while 55% disagreed ("a little" or "not at all").

A similar question — whether society views the required efforts as a "sacrifice that will pay off in the future" — yielded similar results: 42% agree, while 40% do not approve of such wording. The perception of a "beneficial sacrificial effort" is almost unanimously accepted by the core power camp (98% agree among Milei's supporters), but meets strong resistance from the opposition and tepid support from independents, where only 25% approve of this idea.
