Surprise: A survey of 11 government officials revealed that neither Bullrich nor Villarruel won.

Since taking office, one fact has bothered Javier Milei and his inner circle: Victoria Villarruel 's positive image, which on several occasions surpassed that of the president himself. Later, it was Patricia Bullrich who surprised everyone by leading some of these rankings. But a new survey has just measured 11 government officials, and neither the vice president nor the minister are in the lead .

The surprising data appears in the latest national survey by Equipo Mide , "a consulting firm specializing in research, positioning, and strategic communication for leaders, corporations, institutions, and media outlets, operating in the Argentine, Uruguayan, Mexican, and Spanish markets," according to its presentation.

The survey was conducted between June 9 and 12 and included 1,761 cases . The results were presented with a +/- 2.34% margin of error.

Equipo Mide was one of the few polling firms that predicted a possible victory for Manuel Adorni in the Buenos Aires legislative elections on May 18, and it is precisely the presidential spokesperson who leads this competitive field in the national Cabinet.

With a plus: Adorni is one of the two leaders who finishes with a favorable image balance . The other who garners more support than rejection is Chief of Staff Guillermo Francos , but since the table is sorted by positive rating, he falls somewhat short.

According to Equipo Mide 's data, the spokesperson received 45% positive and 44% negative ratings . Bullrich has the same positive rating, but a higher rejection rate (52%). That's why she's ranked second.

Villarruel , meanwhile, rounds out the podium, with 44% positive and 47% negative . In all cases, there are marginal percentages of "don't know" or "don't know."

This last fact, that of ignorance, works against Gerardo Werthein and Mario Lugones . The chancellor finishes second to last in the ranking, with +21% and -26% , plus 53% of "don't know/don't answer." The health minister, meanwhile, closes the table with +18% and -27% (55% of "don't know/don't answer").

Luis Caputo (Economics): + 38% / 12% ns-nc / - 50%.

Guillermo Francos (Chief of Staff): +37% / 27% ns-nc / -36%.

Sandra Pettovello (Human Capital): + 36% / 23% ns-nc / - 41%.

Luis Petri (Defense): + 35% / 27% ns-nc / - 38%.

Karina Milei (General Secretary): + 33% / 13% ns-nc / - 54%.

Mariano Cúneo Libarona (Justice): + 32% / 26% ns-nc /- 42%.

Although not new, Karina Milei's results are nonetheless striking. A key player in the government and in the Libertarians' electoral campaign, the secretary has the highest disapproval of the 11 officials evaluated.

The survey also includes updated figures on the President's image . While Milei remains slightly negative (one point), he is the most popular, leading the ruling party's ranking if included with the other 11 officials.

The president combines a 49% positive rating with a 50% negative rating. But, unlike other polls , his rating here is down from May, when he had achieved a 51% positive rating and a 48% negative rating.

Regarding the electoral figures for the national legislative elections on October 26 , the study offers a general assessment. The results are as follows:

1) " I will not support the ruling party candidates who support Javier Milei's project": 34% .

2) " I will support the ruling party candidates who support Javier Milei's project": 31% .

3) "I haven't decided yet": 27%.

4) "I'm not going to vote": 8%.
