Opinion poll shows support for Cristina Fernandez sliding significantly
Argentines are concerned with the economic situation and prospects The image of Argentine president Cristina Fernandez and the approval of her government have fallen significantly in June compared to last October when she was re-elected for a second four year mandate.
According to the latest opinion poll survey released over the weekend, disapproval of the government’s performance climbed from 29% to 50.4%, while the positive image dropped from 63% to 39%, according to Management&Fit.
Basically 42.1% said that the performance of the Cristina Fernandez government was acceptable while 50.4% disapproved and 7.5% preferred not to answer.
The positive image of CFK which last October when her re-election soared to 63% with an overall effective vote support of 54% in June is now down to 39%, while her negative image went up from 18.2% to 34.2%.
According to some of the conclusions in the reports, the current economic situation of Argentina, and prospects, has much to influence in the results.
Likewise when the interviewed were asked about economic forecasts for the coming months, 58.8% anticipated a worsening of conditions, while 24.5% anticipated no changes and 14.7% were expecting an improvement.
Similarly 59.8% said they disagreed with the US dollar clamp which restricts the purchase of greenbacks by Argentines, while 13.6% said they agreed with the measures.
The poll involved interviewing 1.626 people, over 18 in the city of Buenos Aires and surroundings plus areas to the north and south of Argentina.

They don't understand that the British government are actually doing something about our problems, and not burying their heads in the sand hoping that all the problems just go away. They are implementing policies that aren't all that popular, but they aren't doing these things to be popular, they are doing them to sort out the economy. Regardless of whether we agree with their methods or not, Britain has retained its AAA rating.
Argentina, whose government refuses to face reality, is finally realising just how bad things are. CFK and her cronies could only distract the people for so long with their antics regarding the Falklands.
The clock is ticking, CFK, your end is nigh. The sooner the better for the people of Argentina.
Okay then should I break the norm and comment the British government. The only reason I would bash our govenment is because I am a Labour supporter.
Jun 11th, 2012 - 08:44 am 0Now for all you Tory followers.......... you can start ripping into me now. Let's hear it. “Labour caused all the problems we are facing now” crap.
Only joking. You can rip me if you like. Labour have made thier fare share of mistakes. Unlike CFK who has made an unfair share of mistakes. I am not surpirsed by this article one little bit.
