Alberto Fernández’s wear during the pandemic, in numbers

Quarantine is wearing everyone down. Every Argentine knows that, day by day, he faces the new normality; And so do the rulers, direct witnesses to the price paid for making such delicate decisions.

In particular, Alberto Fernández, who, after having won support at the beginning of the isolation, today suffers the impact of the 100-day pandemic.

Surveys, always taken with caution, show it. From March until today the political capital that the President had generated has been diluting. This latest extension – the most delicate, perhaps – finds Fernández with a growth in cases and a fall in popularity.

“The personal positive image of the president continues to decline but the decline is moderating,” says the latest study by Giacobbe & Asociados.

“Let’s remember that after growing 30% at the beginning of the pandemic, it fell 8% first, then 7%, later 5%, 2% and now 1%. Then she lost 23% of the 30% achieved ”she adds.

With a data that could set off alarms in La Rosada: the evolution of Fernández’s negative image now reaches 37.6%.

“As Alberto adopts a Kirchner face, he distances himself from all those who ‘wanted to see’ exclusively Peronist features in him,” states the study presented last week.

The same survey shows that the level of quarantine approval has also lost strength. In March, it reached 85% and in June, that percentage stood at 50%.

The trend is set by other pollsters, such as Analogies, which measures for the Front of All.

As published in recent days, during March 94% of the population agreed with the government’s measures to confront the pandemic. But in June, that percentage had dropped to 74% (while those who disagree rose from 4 to 23%).

With an important fact for June: “For the first time since January, more respondents think that in the next two years the economic situation will worsen. Only 26% consider that the economy will recover between this year and 2021. Another 25% believe that it will begin to do so in 2022 ”.

The latest Analogies survey also shows a drop in the Government’s assessment. In March, approval reached 79.2% to drop to 60% in June.

Management & Fit measured in the same direction. In March, 92% approved what Fernández had done in the face of the pandemic; but in June, the percentage reached 62.4%. On the other hand, disapproval rose from 5.5 to 35.8%.

Women proportionally approve of the government’s actions vis-à-vis the Covid-19, as well as low educational levels,” the study states. “Conversely, males and medium and high educational levels mention disapproving in a greater proportion.”

Another of the polls known in recent days belongs to Zuban, Córdoba and Associates. “What approval do you have from the national government?” Was the query. In March, 97% approved Fernández; percentage that in June was at 71%.

The study advanced on other elements, beyond the coronavirus. “In general and considering all the economic, political, health and social aspects, do you think Argentina is making progress …?” Was the query. In March, 58.3% thought the country was going “in the right direction”; in June, 49%.

The fifth survey is from Polyarchy. In early June, he also detected a drop in support for Fernandez in the face of the health crisis.

“At the national level, the approval of the management of the Fernández crisis fell for the third consecutive week and reached 69%. But in CABA it fell 9 points in a week and 18 points in 15 days, and was located around 54%,” he affirmed. Alejandro Catterberg.

In March, support had reached 83%.

“Another observation about the approval of Fernández in relation to the crisis is that there is beginning to be a stronger fall in the upper middle class sectors, slower in the lower class sectors and remains in the middle class,” he added.

On extending the quarantine, Poliarquía noted that since March, those who agreed to extend it had gone from 89% to 64%.

Vicentin

To the crisis due to the pandemic, which worsened the situation of the Argentine economy, Fernández and his government added an extra that hit the Rosada hard: the Vicentin case.

Especially in very important provinces for the President, where part of the country’s productive sector is concentrated.

This was the case of Córdoba and Santa Fe, which showed how Vicentin lost Fernández’s positive image points in just two weeks.

According CB ConsultoresIn Santa Fe, Alberto Fernández went from 61% in May to 46% in June. While

In Córdoba, there was also a “Vicentin effect” for Fernández. The President lost 6.2 percentage points since May, when he had shown growth thanks to the anti-pandemic strategy.

Provincial conflicts must also be taken into account, assures the Consultant. “For example, that of Portezuelo del Viento greatly affected the image of Fernández in Mendoza … and strengthened it in La Pampa and Neuquén.”
