\"Argentine<\/p>\n

Nearly 58% of Argentinians said they don\u2019t trust President Javier Milei following his involvement in the $4.6 billion Libra crypto scandal, according to a recent poll.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than a month after the crypto fraud scandal broke out, how much do you trust Milei today?\u201d polling platform Zuban C\u00f3rdoba asked<\/a> 1,600 respondents in its recently released March survey, to which 57.6% replied that they disapprove of him, while 36% said Milei still has their trust.<\/p>\n

The remaining 6.4% said they weren\u2019t sure, the report stated.<\/p>\n

This was the first time the question was asked within a Zuban C\u00f3rdoba poll. However, several other metrics, such as Milei\u2019s image and the national management approval rating, have plummeted considerably in recent months.<\/p>\n

The latter of those metrics, for example, fell from 47.3% in November to 41.6% in March.<\/p>\n

\u201cFifty-eight percent disapprove of Javier Milei\u2019s management. Negativity increases slowly but steadily and seems to find no ceiling,\u201d Zuban C\u00f3rdoba said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe change in tone and evaluation of the government is consolidating as more and more problematic fronts appear on the political agenda.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Zuban C\u00f3rdoba conducted its study between March 12 and March 14, and the sample size of 1,600 participants had a confidence level of 95% and a sampling error of 2.45%.<\/p>\n

Another survey<\/a> from the University of San Andr\u00e9s conducted between March 11-20 with 1,020 respondents found that Milei\u2019s approval rating dropped to 45%.<\/p>\n

However, not all polls paint the same picture of President Milei.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Data<\/a> collected from Morning Consult between Feb. 27 and March 5 indicates that Milei still possessed a 62.4% approval rating after the Libra scandal.<\/a><\/p>\n

Milei has distanced himself <\/a>from Libra since the scandal, arguing he didn\u2019t \u201cpromote\u201d the LIBRA token in a controversial Feb. 14 X post \u2014 as fraud lawsuits<\/a> filed against him allege \u2014 and instead merely \u201cspread the word\u201d about it.<\/p>\n

The Libra (LIBRA) token soared to a $4.6 billion market cap shortly after Milei\u2019s X post before tanking nearly 94% over the next few hours.<\/p>\n

Argentina\u2019s opposition party called for Milei\u2019s impeachment<\/a> but has had limited success thus far.<\/p>\n

President Milei\u2019s party still in lead as election looms<\/h2>\n

The controversy comes as the next Argentine election is set to take place on Oct. 26.<\/p>\n

Despite the negative results, Milei\u2019s La Libertad Avanza party is still most likely to take out the next Argentine election, with 36.7% in favor of the libertarian party, while Uni\u00f3n por la Patria comes in next at 32.5%.<\/p>\n

However, only 43% of Argentine respondents believe that Milei \u2014 an economist prior to taking office \u2014 has sufficiently controlled inflation, while 63% of those polled oppose Milei\u2019s efforts to secure a new loan from the International Monetary Fund.<\/a><\/p>\n
