The governor of Santa Fe, Maximiliano Pullaro, recorded a 52,2% of positive image in the August survey by CB Global Data and ranked sixth in the national comparison of provincial governors. The result represents an improvement of half a point compared to July and 1,8 points compared to June, when he had reached 50,4%.
The progress was also reflected in his position within the ranking. Pullaro went from tenth place in June to ninth in July and then to sixth in August. The survey corresponding to Santa Fe was conducted between 10 and 14 of August on a sample of 1.080 cases, according to the record cited by the publication.
The five governors ranked above were Rolando Figueroa, from Neuquén, with 55,7%; Osvaldo Jaldo, from Tucumán, with 55,1%; Hugo Passalacqua, from Misiones, with 53,4%; Gustavo Sáenz, from Salta, with 52,9%; and Marcelo Orrego, from San Juan, with 52,5%. The difference between the Santa Fe resident and the fifth place was three tenths.
At the lower end of the list appeared Gustavo Melella, from Tierra del Fuego, with 45,2%; Alfredo Cornejo, from Mendoza, with 45,1%; Axel Kicillof, from Buenos Aires, with 44,2%; Ricardo Quintela, from La Rioja, with 42,6%; and Gildo Insfrán, from Formosa, with 40,7%. The percentages allow a comparison at the time of the survey, not a permanent conclusion about each administration.
The positive image measures the evaluation declared by the respondents and does not equate to voting intention, approval of a specific policy, or electoral outcome. The sample size is relevant information, but the available methodological information does not allow estimating on one's own the corresponding margin of error for each province.
The August data favors Pullaro and confirms an upward trend within this particular series. Even so, it should be interpreted as a snapshot of public opinion taken over four days. New government decisions, political events, or measurements with different designs can change the position. The ranking does not grant an additional mandate nor replace electoral and institutional instances.
