ArgentinaPulse Poll #5 | Argentines' Perceptions of the World Order, Foreign Policy and Global Issues
As Argentina’s Peronist opposition prepares to take power, its supporters hold highly negative views of key global partners of the outgoing government, including the United States and International Monetary Fund, according to the latest ArgentinaPulse survey by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and Poliarquía.
Only 43 percent of opposition voters hold a positive view of the United States compared to 89 percent of government supporters, according to the new poll. Similarly, only 14 percent of opposition voters hold a favorable view of the IMF, compared to 72 percent of government supporters.
That polarization could encourage Argentina’s next government to adopt a hard line toward the IMF in its negotiations over the IMF’s $57 billion bailout for Argentina, its largest loan in history. It could also lead Argentina’s new president to reevaluate the close diplomatic relationship with Washington that President Mauricio Macri developed.
Indeed, Mr. Macri’s opponents also express highly negative views of Mr. Trump, a top international ally of the Macri administration. In the poll, only 19 percent of opposition voters said they approve of the US leader, compared to 65 percent of government supporters. Over all, support for Mr. Trump fell steeply in Argentina, from 44 percent in June to 36 percent.
