New mayoral ranking: the only member of the Greater Buenos Aires mayoral party won, and one from La Cámpora finished last.

The poles of the rift, in a suburban version. A new survey measured the 24 mayors of the Greater Buenos Aires (GBA) , with a strong result: the only member of the Millennium Party (Millionaires) in the region won , and one from La Cámpora finished last .

They are Diego Valenzuela (Tres de Febrero) , a former Macri supporter turned libertarian; and Damián Selci (Hurlingham) , who answers to Máximo Kirchner.

The study that brings this data and advances Clarín ss of CB Consultora Opinión Pública , a firm based in Córdoba that became known in May 2020, when it began publishing an interesting ranking of governors.

Then, the polling firm led by analyst Cristian Buttié compiled this list of mayors from the hottest political zone : Greater Buenos Aires.

For this new edition, between 543 and 690 residents per municipality were interviewed. They were asked how they view their mayor . The results were presented with a margin of error of +/- 3% to 4%.

As main conclusions, Buttié highlighted:

"The three mayors of the GBA best valued this month by their neighbors are: Valenzuela , who leads with a 63.4% positive image, followed by Federico Achával (Pilar) with a 62.8%, and in third place Fernando Gray (Esteban Echeverría) with 62.3%".

"On the contrary, the three worst rated mayors of the GBA this month are: Selci , with a 38.2% positive image, followed by Andrés Watson (Florencio Varela) with 38.6%, and in third place Pablo Descalzo (Ituzaingó) with 39.5%."

"The mayor who grew the most compared to our last measurement was Jorge Ferraresi (Avellaneda), with an increase of +2.4%, while Mayra Mendoza (Quilmes) was the one who fell the most, with a decrease of -1.7%."

For a better analysis of the results, CB divides the table into three : the 8 mayors with the best image in the GBA, the 8 in the middle, and the 8 worst.

As a general rule, municipal leaders (such as governors) tend to have a higher influence in their districts than national politicians.

An example? Of the 24 mayors evaluated, 14 ended with a favorable balance (more support than rejection). An unexpected result when evaluating national leaders. Except for President Javier Milei, and only in some polls, the rest always end with a negative balance.

At the top of the mayoral ranking, as previously reported, is Valenzuela. A journalist by profession, but involved in politics for many years, he followed in the footsteps of his role model, Patricia Bullrich, and became the first Mileísta mayor in the Greater Buenos Aires. He wants to be governor.

In the June poll, Valenzuela came in first with 63.4% support and 32.3% rejection . He was followed by Achával , a Peronist from Pilar, with +62.8% and -33.9% ; and at the bottom was Gray , also from the PJ party, led by Esteban Echeverría, with +62.3% and -32.9% .

Gray, one of the first to question Máximo Kirchner as the leader of the Buenos Aires Peronist movement, is another aspiring to succeed Axel Kicillof in La Plata and is working on a parallel coalition with La Cámpora, even for this year.

Below, the top 8 was completed with:

4th Leonardo Nardini (PJ, Malvinas Argentinas): + 62% and - 33%.

5th Jaime Méndez (exTogether for Change, San Miguel): + 61.9% and - 34.9%.

6th Julio Zamora (PJ not K, Tigre): + 61.8% and - 35%.

7th Soledad Martínez (PRO, Vicente López): + 58.2% and - 37.7%.

8th Federico Otermín (Camporista, Lomas de Zamora): + 55.7% and - 40.9%.

The flip side is the eight mayors with the worst image in the Greater Buenos Aires area. All Peronists , they ended with a negative balance . The bottom three were even notable for not reaching 40% of the positive ratings.

They were Pablo Descalzo (PJ from Ituzaingó, 22nd with + 39.5% and - 54.9%), Andrés Watson (PJ from Florencio Varela, 23rd with + 38.6% and - 57.8%) and the aforementioned Selci (Camporista from Hurlingham, 24th with + 38.2% and - 59.5%).

Above them were:

17th Jorge Ferraresi (PJ, Avellaneda): + 46.5% and - 49.2%.

18th Fernando Espinoza (PJ, La Matanza): + 45.7% and - 50.6%.

19th Mario Ishii (PJ, José C. Paz): + 45.3% and - 51.1%.

20th Julián Alvarez (Camporista, Lanús): + 44.8% and - 47.4%.

21st Fernando Moreira (PJ, San Martín): + 42.1% and - 52.8%.

The ranking is completed by eight mayors who were left as part of the statistical sandwich. Six with a positive balance and two with a negative balance .

10th Juan Andreotti (PJ, San Fernando): + 51.6% and - 46.3%.

11th Juan José Mussi (PJ, Berazategui): + 50.8% and - 43.7%.
