Axel Kicillof records a positive image higher than Javier Milei in 21 of the 24 municipalities of the Gran Buenos Aires included in a measurement by CB Global Data. The President is above the governor only in San Isidro, Vicente López, and Tigre, all located in the northern corridor. The result describes personal evaluations by district and does not constitute, by itself, a measurement of voting intention.

The widest difference appears in Florencio Varela, where Kicillof reaches 54.4% positive image and Milei 23.4%, a gap of 31 points. The governor also achieves marked advantages in La Matanza, with 49.9% versus 21.4%; Merlo, with 47.9% against 24.5%; and Almirante Brown, with 50.7% versus 27.9%. Avellaneda completes the group of districts where the provincial leader surpasses 50%, with 50.5%.

Territorial predominance does not imply homogeneous levels of support. Kicillof records 47% in José C. Paz and Malvinas Argentinas, 46.7% in Berazategui, 45.5% in Moreno, and 45.4% in Lomas de Zamora. Although he leads the comparison in almost the entire metropolitan area, he only surpasses half of positive opinions in Florencio Varela, Almirante Brown, and Avellaneda, a detail that limits a uniform reading of the map.

Milei concentrates his best results in the north. In Vicente López he reaches 43.5% and surpasses Kicillof by 12.7 points, who obtains 30.8%. In San Isidro he reaches 42.8% against 25.3%, the largest presidential difference in the study. Tigre shows a much smaller advantage: 36.4% for Milei and 34.6% for the governor, just 1.8 points apart.

There are also districts where the nominal difference is not enough to assert a statistical gap. In Pilar, Kicillof gathers 39.3% and Milei 38.8%, only half a point apart. In San Fernando, on the other hand, the President achieves his third highest record, 39.1%, but the governor maintains the lead with 42.9%. The lowest presidential values are observed in La Matanza, Florencio Varela, and Merlo.

The survey was conducted between August 1 and 4, 2026, covering 14,741 cases, with municipal samples ranging from 507 to 728 people and an average reported error of three to four points. That technical sheet requires treating the narrower margins as ties and reading the set as a snapshot of early August. The central fact remains: Kicillof leads in the territorial comparison, while Milei maintains his three advantages in northern Buenos Aires.
