A recent survey reveals that 58% of Argentines perceive their economic situation as deteriorating, with nearly half directly feeling the impact, according to political consultant Jorge Giacobbe's consultancy firm. Of those surveyed, 48.9% indicated that the economic deterioration was affecting them personally, while 9.5% acknowledged the worsening situation but had not yet experienced its effects.
This marks a significant increase from a previous poll conducted between late May and early July, which found 54% of respondents in a similar situation. The survey also highlights that 5.3% believe the economy has stagnated, accounting for about 64% of respondents who see no improvement. Only 28.5% of those surveyed reported economic improvement and felt its benefits, while 7.3% believed the economy was improving but had not yet noticed any changes.
Despite the government's defense of its austerity and spending cut program, 47.8% of respondents strongly criticized the strategy, describing it as "mistaken" and blaming it for "meaningless suffering" for Argentines.
