A
new ranking of governors that
Clarín
announced
this Monday leaves a
striking conclusion
.
Although the report does not clarify it, the result allows us to develop the hypothesis:
the leaders who most question President Javier Milei are those who have the worst image in their provinces
.
At least it happens with three specific cases.
Who is it about?
Of two Peronists (the Riojan
Ricardo Quintela
and the Buenos Aires
Axel Kicillof
) and a "provincial" (the Rio Negro
Alberto Weretilneck
).
The striking data appear in the latest report from
CB Consultora Opinión Pública
, a firm that is characterized by its federal measurements and has published this interesting provincial table since the beginning of 2020.
The
mega survey
is based on a survey of
652 to 1,256 cases per district
(varies depending on size).
And in each one they ask the neighbors how they see their governor.
As Clarín
already explained
in previous notes, the evaluations of local leaders tend to be better than those of national leaders in those same geographies.
Therefore, beyond the fact that a table is always formed with the best, intermediate and worst,
in general the numbers of the governors are good.
An example: only the three leaders mentioned end up with a negative image balance, that is, with more negative than positive.
The 8 worst
From bottom to top, the most relegated is
Quintela
.
The Riojan is, without a doubt,
the opposition governor who came out the most to question Milei
.
With some high-sounding threats that he then did not carry out.
He had said, for example, that if the libertarian won he would resign from his position and today he is still there.
This weekend, the president even spoke with Clarín and talked about the issue: he says he is going to resign if Milei keeps his promise to cut off both of his arms if he raises taxes...
Quintela has
a 45.8% positive image and 49% a negative one
.
Weretilneck
fares little better
, originating from the Frente Grande and who later put together a powerful local force that has governed the province for several periods.
The Rio Negro has
+ 46.1% and - 47.6%
.
As anticipated, the third with more rejections than supports is
Kicillof
, another hyper critic of Milei.
In the survey organized by analyst
Cristian Buttié
, the Buenos Aires native combines
+ 48.2% and - 48.6%
.
Sorted by the favorable rating, below Kicillof is
Raúl Jalil
from Catamarca .
He is the exception, because he was one of the PJ leaders who was most conciliatory with the libertarian.
In this poll he adds
+ 48.1% and - 46%
.
The four that complete the
group of "the worst"
also have a differential in their favor and relatively good numbers.
Claudio Poggi
(JxC, San Luis):
+ 50.7% and - 43.4%
.
Claudio Vidal
(Provincial, Santa Cruz):
+ 50.5% and - 43.3%
.
Gustavo Melella
(Radical K, Tierra del Fuego):
+ 49.9% and - 46%
.
Gustavo Sáenz (
PJ, Salta):
+ 49.3% and - 47.2%
.
The 8 best
In the friendliest part of the table, there is a particularity that also supports the theory of
"better to praise Milei than to criticize"
.
Third in the ranking is Osvaldo Jaldo
from Tucumán
, the Peronist governor who broke the Unión por la Patria bloc to support the Omnibus Law.
Jaldo enters the last place on the podium with 60.2 support points and only 33.5 rejection. The two who surpass it, also breaking the ceiling of 60% in favor, are low-profile leaders:
Missionary
Hugo Passalacqua
, from a local force, leads with
+63.9% and -32.1%
.
And second is
Marcelo Orrego
from San Juan , also from a provincial party but allied with Together for Change:
+ 61.4% and - 32.7%
.
Among the other five in the top 8 of the ranking there is a mix of radicals, Peronists and Macristas.
The two UCRs are
Gustavo Valdés from Corrientes (+ 59.9% and - 34.7%)
and
Alfredo Cornejo from Mendoza (+ 59.8% and - 37.1%)
.
The two PJs,
Sergio Ziliotto from Pampa (+ 59.2% and - 37.6%)
and
Martín Llaryora from Córdoba (+ 59.1% and - 36.4%)
.
The Macrista, Ignacio Torres from Chubut
(+ 57.4% and - 36.3%)
.
The middle 8
In the
middle of the table
, also with very positive numbers, there are several
well-known
provincial leaders , such as
Jorge Macri or Rogelio Frigerio
.
And the mixture of political origins is repeated.
Jorge Macri
(JxC, CABA):
+ 56.8 and - 37.2%
.
Carlos Sadir
(JxC, Jujuy):
+ 56.7 and - 35.6%
.
Maximiliano Pullaro
(JxC, Santa Fe):
+ 56.6 and - 37.4%
.
Gildo Insfrán
(PJ, Formosa):
+ 56.1 and - 40.8%
.
Leandro Zdero
(JxC, Chaco):
+ 53.3 and - 40.6%
.
Rolando Figueroa
(Provincial, Neuquén):
+ 52.4 and - 40.3%
.
Rogelio Frigerio
(JxC, Entre Ríos):
+ 51.2 and - 41.6%
.
Gerardo Zamora
(Radical K, Santiago del Estero):
+ 50.9 and - 46.3%
.
