In the raid of interviews that he gave after his launch as a candidate for president,
Horacio Rodríguez Larreta
clarified several times that
he will support a PRO leader
for his succession.
The effort will probably not be enough to appease the anger generated by the link between the head of the Buenos Aires government and a radical competitor for the same position.
It happens that
Martín Lousteau
, the external target in question, appears first in a
new survey
and revives the ghost:
Can macrismo lose the management of the City that he has administered since 2007?
The study that
Clarín
is carrying out this Thursday is from
Opinaia
, a consultancy specialized in online measurements and that became known for its good forecasts, curiously, for the 2015 Buenos Aires election. That time, Larreta easily won the internal one against Gabriela Michetti, but then he suffered the runoff against his current ally Lousteau.
Other times.
The survey of the firm, which currently has the City's management among its clients, was carried out between February 5 and 17.
There were
2,000 national cases with a cut of 500 interviews in CABA
.
The results were presented with a margin of error of +/- 2.2%.
A fought STEP, with Together for comfortable Change above
The tension generated by the inmate for head of government in Juntos por el Cambio has numerical logic: the difference is so great as the space that it takes from the Front of All and the libertarians, that it is not unreasonable to conclude that whoever wins that STEP will be the
successor of Larreta.
That is where, as Clarín
recounted a long time ago
, a large part of Mauricio Macri's rancor with Larreta was born.
The former president believes that because of this opening by his former chief of staff,
the PRO could lose a hegemony that it has maintained since 2007
, in the district that gave birth to space.
And more: the founder of the PRO would like not only to continue the brand but also
to return the last name
, since he is promoting his cousin Jorge, the current Buenos Aires minister, for the position.
Larreta, meanwhile, not only gave space to Lousteau but also promoted other candidates within the macrismo, such as the ministers Fernán Quirós and Soledad Acuña, and the legislator Emmanuel Ferrario.
A way to mark the field for the former president, from whom he expects (or expected) clearer support for the national fight.
The polls so far suggest a
strong bid between Lousteau and Jorge Macri
.
That would explain the recent criticism of the Buenos Aires minister, recalling the economist's Kirchner past.
On a second step, growing, comes Quirós.
Open end.
In Opinaia
numbers
, the radical senator leads with 19%, against Jorge Macri's 16%, Quirós' 10% and Acuña's 3%.
Total for Together for Change: 48%.
Second comes the Frente de Todos, but very far: 16%, for 11% of the deputy Leandro Santoro and 5% of the Minister of Tourism Matías Lammens.
Third is
Ramiro Marra
, a libertarian legislator and
ally of Javier Milei
, with
13%
.
They complete
Gabriel Solano
, of the
Left Front
, with
3%
;
plus 7% white/null/would not vote and 13% undecided.
What other polls say
Two other surveys
published by this newspaper that measured STEP for head of Government also showed Juntos por el Cambio comfortable above as a space and with parity in the internal, but in both cases with
Jorge Macri leading
.
For the consulting firm Circuitos, the former president's cousin leads with 22.7%, against 17.1% for Lousteau, 6.2% for Fernán Quirós and 1.1% for Soledad Acuña.
Total of JvC 47.1%, against 21.2% of the FdT (16.9% Santoro and 4.3% Lammens).
For Federico González's pollster, meanwhile, Jorge Macri leads with 17%, against 14.6% for Lousteau, 13.1% for Quirós, 3.7% for Roberto García Moritán, 2.3% for Acuña and 0. 4% Ferrari.
Total of 51.1%, versus 18.8% of the FdT (14.4% for Santoro, 3.1% for Lammens and 1.3% for Elizabeth Gómez Alcorta).
