The latest edition of the Political Satisfaction and Public Opinion Survey (ESPOP), conducted by the Laboratory and Observatory of Public Opinion (LOOP) at the University of San Andrés (UdeSA), reveals that nearly 70% of Argentines are dissatisfied with the country's situation, and President Javier Milei's approval rating is declining. The study, accessed by the Argentine News Agency (NA), indicates that the most significant drop in approval is for the Chief of Cabinet, Manuel Adorni. Satisfaction with the Executive branch fell to 26%, while Congress remains the most criticized area, with only 16% approval for the Senate and 15% for the Chamber of Deputies. Regarding the main public concerns, unemployment moved to first place with 40% of mentions, closely followed by low wages (39%) and corruption (38%). Among those who saw the biggest decline this month are Milei himself (-4 points) and Minister of Security Patricia Bullrich (-2 points). On the opposition side, the best-positioned leaders are Axel Kicillof with a 31% positive image, and Myriam Bregman (29%), who lead among respondents who disapprove of the official administration. The figure of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner also holds weight in this segment. In summary, the April report describes a scenario of adjusted expectations, where employment and income displace other issues on the public agenda, while government approval shows signs of sustained wear. His approval rating was placed at 36%, three points below the previous month, while disapproval reached 61%, consolidating a negative trend. Additionally, the report warns of a 'return' of inflation as a relevant issue, with 20% of concern.
