The October elections were the government’s great Rubicon. However, in light of the presidential election and after a turbulent year with many ups and downs among the ruling party leaders, the question arises: Who is positioned as an eventual change to the character? Javier Milei?
In this sense, Patricia Bullrich consolidates itself as the second best figure in the official sector, according to the latest survey by Latam pulsejointly produced by AtlasIntel and Bloomberg.
The former security minister achieved a positive image of 48%ranks well above other key figures in the libertarian government, such as: Karina Milei And Santiago Caputothe two members of the “Iron Triangle”. Advances in freedom.
This is shown by the survey, which was conducted between November 22 and 27, 2025 on a sample of 3,111 adult respondents from across the country Bullrich is the only member of the ruling party to achieve a positive rating of over 40%in addition to the president himself Javier Milei, who has a 56% positive image.
Leadership that goes beyond government
Bullrich’s achievement is particularly significant considering that it far exceeds performance Mauricio Macriwhich only registered a positive image of 39%.
The former president, a central figure in the alliance that brought Milei to the Casa Rosada, is relegated to third place within the political space that supports the government.
The survey, which used the Random Digital Recruitment methodology (Atlas RDR) with a margin of error of ±2 percentage points, allows us to observe the evolution of Argentine political leaders over time. In Bullrich’s case, the historical series shows a consolidation process that clearly distinguishes him from other figures in the ruling party.
It should be noted that in a shorter time Other names that came up include those of Victoria Villarruel and Martín Menem.
The vice president, who acts as a dissident in this area, enjoys the validation of being part of La Libertad Avanza and therefore has a solid positive image of 25%. However, there will be a variety of factors that will shed light on what could happen to the Senate President if she ultimately leaves office.
The obverse of this coin depicts the Libertarian representative in the House of Commons. Menem has the approval of the president and his right-hand woman, Karina.
The ease with which he behaved on the premises made him an open-air supporter of the ruling party’s policies: It also received a 25% positive image.
The contrast to the opposition
The comparison with the leaders of the opposition area strengthens Bullrich’s position. Cristina Fernández de Kirchner registered a 27% positive image, while Axel KicillofGovernor of Buenos Aires Province, achieved 29%.
Both leaders of Kirchnerism are below 30%This highlights the opposition’s difficulties in establishing leaderships with broad popular acceptance.
What does this mean for the libertarian army?
The strength of Bullrich’s image is not an afterthought in Argentina’s political context. As the Milei government faces major economic and social challenges, A number well over 40% of the positive image represents a relevant political advantage for the ruling party..
Coming from such a sensitive field, the former official has maintained a high profile since her inauguration through frequent public interventions and a leading role on internal security and public order issues. This visibility appears to be reflected in citizens’ assessment of her as the president’s top supporter in terms of public image.
With a confidence level of 95%, Latam Pulse data offers a clear picture: in Argentina’s current political scenario, Patricia Bullrich is the most valued figure in the government after Javier Milei, surpassing both the official bodies and the opposition.
