- Argentine President Javier Milei faces declining public support, with 62% holding negative views.
- Unemployment has surpassed inflation as the primary concern for Argentinians, a first in over a year.

- Milei's approval ratings are falling ahead of next year's presidential elections.
Argentine President Javier Milei, considered a strong ally of Israel, is experiencing a significant drop in public support and facing mounting economic challenges that threaten his standing. A new poll reported by Bloomberg indicates that 62% of Argentinians hold a negative view of him, with only 36% expressing a positive opinion.
A key finding from the survey highlights a shift in public concern: for the first time in over a year, unemployment has surpassed inflation as the primary worry for the population. Approximately half of those surveyed identified unemployment as a major issue, and about 70% described the state of the job market as poor. This erosion of support for Milei comes as economic difficulties intensify ahead of next year's presidential elections.
Investors are divesting from Argentine government bonds, leading to a rise of over four percentage points in the yield of bonds maturing in 2035 since July. Furthermore, the prospect of continued U.S. aid is uncertain. While Milei has maintained close ties with U.S. President Donald Trump, whose administration previously provided financial assistance to Argentina, doubts are emerging about the possibility of receiving further support before the elections.
