Until recently, things seemed to be going well for Argentina's President Javier Milei. In October, his party won the midterm elections in a contest many polls predicted would swing the other way. Since then, he passed an important labor reform, poverty fell to its lowest level since 2018, and the economy is expected to grow around 4 percent this year. Yet suddenly, a few warning signs began to flash. One poll showed a substantial drop in Milei's popularity. Another, by Poliarquía, recorded the sharpest single month drop in public optimism of his presidency to date. Today on the podcast: What's affecting Milei's numbers? What does the broader political landscape look like? And what does that mean for public sentiment around the Argentine economy? Our guest is Alejandro Catterberg, president and co-founder of Poliarquía Consultores.
