a governor fell six positions and Axel Kicillof, last again

Although he managed to resolve the police conflict, after 13 days of maximum tension, the governor of Misiones Hugo Passalacqua suffered a strong impact on his image. So much so that fell six places in it ranking that elaborates CB Consulting Public Opinion every month and that Carlos Rovira’s dolphin knew how to lead.

This is one of the main conclusions of the survey of the firm conducted by the analyst Cristian Buttié did between the 1st and 4th of this month, with 620 to 1,285 interviews in each of the 24 provinces evaluated.

Clarion He already anticipated a part of this interesting study, which showed the drop in the evaluation of President Javier Milei in 14 of these districts. Regarding the ranking of governors, another of the salient news is that the Buenos Aires native Axel Kicillof finished last again.

The overall balance is good for provincial leaders, who tend to have a better image than national leaders in their provinces. An example: 16 of the 24 governors maintain more support than rejection in their districts.

To analyze the study, C.B. He divided the table into three groups of 8 leaders each: the best, the middle and the worst. At the top of the ranking there is a particular bias: Only Sergio Ziliotto from Pampa appears as a representative of Peronism K.

Ziliottowhich led the table in May, is now fifthwith 62.1 positive points. In it stop He was replaced by a new, high-profile governor, who was growing in competition: the radical Santa Fe Maximiliano Pullaro came to +64.2%.

He podium It was completed by the also ascendant Ignacio Torres, the young Macrista who faced Milei and leads a group of Patagonian colleagues; and the Peronist from Tucuman Osvaldo Jaldo, the first to jump ship after the elections to align himself with the libertarians. Torres obtained +64% and Jaldo, 63.7%.

The other four members of the best in the ranking were the aforementioned Passalacqua (eighth, after his positive dropped from 63.4% to 58%), the Chaco Leandro Zdero (from JxC, with +62.3%), the radical Corrientes Gustavo Valdes (+61.8%) and the moderate Cordoba Peronist Martin Llaryora (+58.2%).

The other side was the eight governors who finished at the bottom of the table. AND Kicillof fell there again. Bad time for collapse: the man from Buenos Aires is in the middle of a fierce internal battle with Máximo Kirchner, facing the 2025 elections and, above all, in the 2027 presidential election for which the economist is already registered.

Kicillof fell 2.5 points compared to May and his positive rate remained at 40.3%. Above him were two allies of Peronism: Ricardo Quintela from Rioja (+ 41.2%) and Gustavo Sáenz from Salta (+ 44.5%).

The Rio Negro fared hardly better Alberto Weretilneck, one of the “provincials” that has its own game. As a consolation for the former senator, it was the one that grew the most: his positive rating went from 41.7% to 44.8%.

As explained, the other four who finished at the bottom did not escape either: they all have more rejections than support. They are the tipano Claudio Poggiby JxC, with +46.1%; the former Neuquén MPN Rolando Figueroa (+46.9%); the santacruceño Claudio Vidalanother independent, with +47.7%; and the stainless Peronist from Formosa Gildo Insfranwith +48.6%.

The study of C.B. It also contains at the end a federal ranking of mayors. One is elected for each province, who often coincides with the communal head of the capital.

The June table was led by Gustavo Sastre, from Puerto Madryn (Chubut), with 58.1% positive; followed by Roger Nediani, from La Banda (Santiago del Estero), with + 57.7%; and Leonardo Stelatto, from Posadas (Misiones), with + 57.5%.
