A survey conducted between February 23 and 27 among 2,500 respondents reveals an increasingly visible combination in Argentine politics: wear and tear in the management evaluation, but persistence in electoral leadership. The survey shows that President Javier Milei obtained a positive image of 41.7% and a negative one of 49.6%, while Senator Patricia Bullrich reached 42.9% positive against 50.1% negative. On the other side, Peronism shows Kicillof as the most demanded figure for a potential candidacy, above Cristina Kirchner and quite a bit higher than Juan Grabois, although the rejection rate remains high. The general picture that emerges from the study is that of a still strongly polarized politics, where the ruling coalition retains electoral initiative despite the wear and tear of governance, and where the opposition has not yet managed to build an alternative with equivalent national potential. Even so, when the survey moves away from personal valuation and into electoral discussion, the conclusion changes clearly: when asked who should be the presidential candidate for La Libertad Avanza, the most repeated answer was Milei, far ahead of other options. This contrast between image and electoral preference is not minor. It suggests that the President can show signs of wear in public evaluation, but maintains a decisive influence when it comes to ordering his electorate. The difference is narrow, but politically significant, especially because it comes from a consulting firm usually observed with attention by the ruling coalition and considered close to the opinion climate of the Casa Rosada. Beyond the specific result, the work leaves another background data: the positive image of the President has been in sustained decline since February 2025. While Bullrich manages to hold on as a competitive figure and Milei retains electoral centrality, Villarruel appears increasingly relegated in public perception within the surveyed universe. In the case of Vice President Victoria Villarruel, the study recorded the worst numbers of the survey, with just 10.7% positive image against 55.9% negative. That result also leaves political readings. The Giacobbe photograph does not define an election, but it does leave a concrete signal: Bullrich grows in valuation, Milei retreats in image, but the President's leadership within the libertarian space is, for now, without serious discussion. In other words, he can lose relative popularity without losing political centrality. The Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof was the best positioned among those not part of the ruling coalition, with 29.6% positive image and 55.1% negative. Behind them were Cristina Kirchner, with 23.6% positive and 56% negative, and Mauricio Macri, with 14.9% and 54.8%, respectively. It is a key difference to understand the moment of the ruling coalition: there are tensions, there are costs, but no figure has yet appeared within its own space that seriously disputes its leadership. The survey also measured opposition leaders.
