A recent poll conducted in the province of Buenos Aires, the most populous and politically influential in Argentina, reveals former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s lead in voting intentions for national deputy.
The poll by the firm Circuitos, released by the online newspaper La Política On Line (LPO), shows that Fernández de Kirchner, leader of the Justicialist Party, would obtain 35.2% of the votes, far surpassing Luis Espert (28.5%), Milei’s ally, and Diego Santilli (13%), representative of former President Mauricio Macri’s PRO party.
This result comes amid growing discontent with Javier Milei’s administration in the province. More than 56% of those surveyed expressed concern, uncertainty, pessimism, and anger, compared to 37% who remain optimistic. The president’s positive image fell to 39.3%, while his disapproval reached 44%. Furthermore, 45.6% of Buenos Aires residents reject the executive branch’s policies, surpassing those who support them (37.7%).
The study also analyzes electoral scenarios by political faction. In a scenario with the PRO and the Libertarians separated, Peronism would win with 33.8%, followed by La Libertad Avanza (28%) and the PRO (13.6%). However, a potential alliance between the LLA and the PRO would represent a significant challenge for the Justicialist Party, as they would garner 41.6% of the vote, surpassing Peronism by eight points.
The recent collapse of the “Clean Record” initiative allows Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to run for deputy, with the possibility of doing so in the Third Section.
These results reflect a complex political landscape in Argentina, where the economic crisis and the Milei administration’s austerity policies are generating growing discontent, while Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is emerging as a relevant political option in the province of Buenos Aires.
