Civic\u00a0confidence in President Javier Milei\u2019s government suffered an abrupt fall of 12.1 percent last month, extending a five-month downward turn, according to a new survey.<\/p>\n
According to the monthly \u2018Index of Confidence in the Government\u2019 (ICG) measurement, a poll tracked by the Government School of the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, the La Libertad Avanza administration\u2019s popularity has now dropped to a low matched by ex-president Mauricio Macri\u2019s government in April 2018.<\/p>\n
The Di Tella poll ranks confidence in the government on a scale from zero to five. According to the survey, April\u2019s ICG figure was 2.02 points, a steep fall of 12.1 percent on the preceding month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Falling confidence in the government had already been evident in March, with a drop of 2.3 percentage points from February.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Milei\u2019s government has thus accumulated five consecutive falls: December (-0.1 percent), January (-2.8 percent), February (-0.6 percent), March (-3.5 percent) and April (-12.1 percent).<\/p>\n
Last month\u2019s fall is \u00abthe most pronounced,\u201d though the \u201caccumulated contraction since the end of last year is 17.9 percent,\u00bb the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella report indicates.<\/p>\n
\u00abThe average of the Milei administration now drops to 2.42 points, his lowest mark. As a reference, the averages of Mauricio Macri and Alberto Fern\u00e1ndez at the same stages of their administrations were 2.53 and 1.97 points, respectively,\u201d it states.<\/p>\n
The last time the ICG rose was last November, a month after the La Libertad Avanza\u2019s electoral triumph in the midterm legislative elections, when it registered\u00a02.47 points.<\/p>\n
The ICG measures the evolution of public opinion regarding the work of the national government and is designed to\u00a0capture what the citizenry thinks, as estimated on the basis of five dimensions.<\/p>\n
The aim is to measure the image\u00a0or general evaluation of the government; the perception of whether they govern thinking of the common good or that of particular sectors; their\u00a0efficiency in the administration of public spending; the\u00a0honesty of government members and their\u00a0capacity to resolve the country\u2019s problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n
