The first chapters of the film are known. Alberto Fernández assumed the presidency with a relatively good image, better than that of his political rivals and that of his running mate, but far from the numbers of his predecessors when he landed in La Rosada. The arrival of the coronavirus produced a break. In his favor. The centrality that it took with the announcements and the accompaniment of the society to those measures placed it at historical levels. But gradually it began to fall . And while it continues to show positive figures, it is losing part of that political capital that unexpectedly catapulted it.
A consultant, Oh Panel , which works more for the business world but also measures for politics, has been presenting an interesting national survey that updates week by week. It is already on the 11th. And there you can see this drop by drop in the assessment of the Government's management. This scenario coincides with other numbers that Clarín showed and that account for the impact on the presidential image of a series of factors: among others, economic problems and social demand for the extension of the quarantine, plus the rejection of Cristina's influence Kirchner on some core policies.
Oh Panel presented the latest poll days ago, based on 1,000 cases across the country. That measurement runs through June 4. The first had started on March 20, the same day that ASPO (Mandatory Preventive Social Isolation) came into effect .
In one chapter, the consultant asks to rate the "Government against Coronavirus" . And it offers a scale from 1 (minimum) to 5 (maximum). First you ask for an overall rating and then seven variables are broken down. In all cases, the Fernández administration is now at its lowest levels .
In the general score, the Government had started with a very good 4.1 . He then had several consecutive losses, rebounded in the second week of May (at 3.8) and again fell. Now he is at a good level: 3 points .

As can be seen, the greatest demands are economic. And they leave the President in an awkward position: because on the one hand, beyond the fact that he continues to make the announcements of the extension of the quarantine in Olivos, the health discussion - with its pros and cons - was started by the governors, in particular the Buenosairean Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and the Buenosairean Axel Kicillof. But the responsibility for stopping the activity and the claims in this regard continue to point to La Rosada . With growing opposition from Together for Change voters, whom at one point Fernandez had conquered.
