Argentina Poll: 'None' Named Best Milei Minister

A national public opinion poll, conducted on the second anniversary of Javier Milei's assumption of office, revealed a result as eloquent as it is controversial: when asked who was the best minister of the government, the most chosen option was 'none.' The survey, conducted by the consulting firm Trends, generated a strong political impact by combining signals of improvement in the perception of the ruling coalition with a critical assessment of the performance of each member of the Cabinet. The poll was conducted nationwide on a sample of 2,000 cases, collected during the first half of December, with a margin of error of ±2.2%. Optimism about the country's future in the next two years reaches 47% of those surveyed, compared to 42% who declare themselves pessimistic. The presidential administration also registers a favorable balance, with 51% positive opinions versus 46% negative. When asked 'Who do you think was the best minister in the first two years of the government of Javier Milei?', the option 'none' came in first with 41% of the responses, significantly outpacing all officials individually considered. Among the ministers and former ministers evaluated, first place is held by Patricia Bullrich, former Minister of Security and current head of the ruling coalition's bloc in the Senate, with 19%. In second place is Guillermo Francos, former Minister of the Interior and former Chief of Cabinet, with 14%. However, his low level of backing in public opinion confirms a persistent gap between internal power and external image. The government's overall rating shows mixed results: 48% consider the government's direction to be 'correct,' versus 45% who judge it 'incorrect.' These data reflect a relative improvement in the general political climate, though without consolidating broad consensus. The primacy of the 'none' option serves as a warning signal about the limits of public support and the fragility of the link between approval of the general direction and confidence in the concrete executors of official policies.
