The study focused on citizen perception on both leaders, measuring only positive image in each district evaluated. The relieved data suggest a Sustained advantage of Axl Kicillof in respect of Cristina Fernández de Kirchneralthough in several cases the difference between the two remained within reduced margins.
Territorial distribution of the positive image
According to the consultant’s report, Cristina Kirchner won in six municipalities: Avellaneda, La Matanza, Ituzaingó, Lanús, Lomas de Zamora and San Fernando. These are districts where historically his figure has concentrated high levels of support.
Instead, en the remaining 18 municipalities, Kicillof reached higher positive image levelsconsolidating territorial leadership in terms of public perception.
Among the districts where Kicillof led the measurement are Quilmes, Merlo, Almirante Brown, José C. Paz, San Martín, Tigre, Vicente López, Escobar, San Miguel, Esteban Echeverría, Ezeiza, Morón, three of February, Hurlingham, Malvinas Argentinas, Florencio Varela, Berazategui and Moreno.
Maximum positive image levels
The highest positive image to Axel Kicillof was recorded in Florencio Varela, where he reached 48.1%. Meanwhile, the best performance of Fernández de Kirchner It occurred in The killingwith a positive image of 47.3%.
In several locations, the difference between both leaders was narrow. For example, in Moreno, the governor obtained 44.8%, while the former president reached 45.3%. In Berazategui, the numbers were 42.4% for Kicillof and 43.7% for Fernández de Kirchner. The proximity in these percentages shows a competitive scenario within the same electorate.
Outstanding cases and survey surprises
One of the most significant data of the study was observed in José C. Paza district traditionally identified with Kirchnerism. In that town, Axel Kicillof reached a positive image of 42.8%surpassing Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who obtained 41.3%. Although the difference is reduced, the result marks a variation with respect to previous measurements, in which the ex -president had maintained a stronger position.
In Malvinas Argentinas there was also a remarkable parity: the governor was positively valued by 43.4% of those consulted, while the former president obtained 43.2%. This trend was repeated in other districts of the second cord of the conurbano.
San Isidro: the district with the lowest level of support for both
San Isidro It was the municipality with the lowest positive image levels for both referents of the ruling party. In that northern conurbano match, Kicillof registered 23.8%, while Fernández de Kirchner obtained 18.9%.
In contrast, in that same district, the president Javier Milei reached its highest level of positive image within the conurbano: 45.2%. This data reinforces the presence of libertarian space in that area of Greater Buenos Aires, which differs from the general trend observed in other municipalities.
Internal readings and political context
The survey spread in a context of redefinition of leadership within Buenos Aires Peronism. Although Cristina Fernández de Kirchner continues to be a central figure within the space, the data reveals a consolidation of Axel Kicillof as a reference with greater territorial projection.
From CB Public Opinion Consultant, they pointed out that “the measurement shows a gradual displacement in public perception between the two most relevant figures of the official space in Buenos Aires territory.” The statement refers to the possibility that the governor is capitalizing on increasing support that could influence future electoral strategies of Peronism in the province of Buenos Aires.
The study methodology did not include a vote intention, but limited to evaluating positive image, so conclusions should not be interpreted as an electoral prognosis. However, the analysis of public perception can serve as input for the political planning of the different sectors within the ruling party.
Methodology and survey
The field work was carried out between April 8 and 12, 2025. The survey covered the 24 municipalities of Buenos Aires, without discriminating against electoral sections or population density. The results are expressed in percentages on the total responses obtained in each party.
The measurement had as its sole purpose the positive image of Axel Kicillof and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, not including other leaders of the ruling party or opponents, with the exception of the punctual fact about Javier Milei in San Isidro, which was incorporated by the consultant as a comparative reference.
According to what is informed, the survey is part of a periodic series of monitoring about the image of leaders in the Buenos Aires field. The series allows us to observe trends in public assessment and possible changes in leadership distribution within each political space.
