Milei Leads with Large Margin Ahead of 2027 Elections

A new national poll shows that Argentine President Javier Milei comfortably leads with a nearly 20-point lead over Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof. The survey also shows that 41% of voters support continuing most of his policies.


Milei Leads with Large Margin Ahead of 2027 Elections

Various Peronist and provincial actors privately admit that some governors are considering advancing local elections and seeking re-election before the presidential drag effect of Milei is fully consolidated. The report also detects interesting movements within traditional electorates. When asked what the next government should do regarding the policies promoted by the current administration, 41% of respondents leaned towards 'continuing most policies', compared to 33% who chose to 'change most'. According to the study, Milei reaches 45% voting intention in a hypothetical presidential scenario, while Kicillof obtains 25%. The recently presented report not only included the classic voting intention question but also a broader analysis on the social demand for change or continuity of current policies. One of the central points of the study is precisely this dilemma. An additional 22% believed it would be convenient to 'continue some and change others'. This data, far from contradicting the disruptive spirit that brought Milei to power, is interpreted by analysts as a sign that a significant portion of the electorate wishes to deepen the reform course initiated in December 2023. In this context, a new national survey shows a compelling data point: the current president not only comfortably leads in voting intention but is also far ahead of his closest competitor, Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof, by a margin of nearly 20 percentage points. These numbers would likely scare off certain investors attracted by the economic direction but who are watching 2027 with close attention. The survey, conducted by QSocial, confirms a trend that various polls have been reflecting in recent weeks. Between October and December, Milei's electoral support would have increased by about 10 points, while Kicillof registered a slight drop of approximately two points. Even so, this phenomenon does not significantly erode the President's lead. Two years away from a new presidential election, the message emerging from the poll is clear: Javier Milei not only comfortably leads but does so with a much wider margin than any immediate competitor. In this sense, 'continuity' is not associated with the previous status quo but with the consolidation of the structural change driven by the current president. The survey also allows for observing the evolution of support in recent months. Buenos Aires, January 25, 2026 – Total News Agency-TNA-Javier Milei begins the second part of his presidential term and the political scenario is already beginning to project towards 2027. Far behind both appear other leaders: Juan Schiaretti with 4% and Nicolás del Caño with only 2%, reinforcing the idea of a strongly polarized scenario but with clear leadership. These numbers do not go unnoticed on the political chessboard. In an open and dynamic scenario, the ruling party today appears as the dominant political actor, with a margin that forces the rest of the system to recalculate strategies and timetables. Sources consulted: Clarín; QSocial; private public opinion polls. The gap is wide enough that, if repeated today at the polls, the libertarian president would win in the first round without needing a runoff. The survey is based on fieldwork of 1,111 cases nationwide, with an estimated margin of error of +/- 3%. In particular, a partial leakage of voters identified with macrismo is observed, who in the most recent measurement move from direct support for Milei to positions of indecision or blank voting. QSocial is a firm with over 15 years of experience in public opinion studies and political and economic scenario analysis. The possibility of a 'violet wave' in the upcoming elections has already begun to set off alarms in several provinces.
