Milei's Party Still Leads for 2027 — What This New Argentina Polling Means for the Peso

  • Argentina isn't voting this October. The next national election — part of Congress, and the presidency — falls in 2027, and a wave of dueling polls is already underway.
  • President Javier Milei's La Libertad Avanza still tops most 2027 surveys, but the size of the lead ranges from a comfortable double-digit edge in party-brand polling to a margin under one point once pollsters test named candidates.
  • Milei's approval sits underwater in every recent survey, generally in the high 30s to low 40s positive against high 50s negative.
  • Buenos Aires province polling has blurred two separate 2027 contests — the province's own governor's race and a hypothetical Milei-Kicillof presidential matchup.
  • The blue-dollar rate, the number that actually determines what a remittance is worth on arrival, closed the first trading day of September at 1,545 pesos per dollar, roughly 14% above where it stood a year earlier.

No, there's no election on the calendar this October
