Previous polling had predicted a much closer race between the parties, with surveys suggesting Peronism would win by only 4 to 6 percentage points rather than the actual 13-point margin that materialized on election day.</span

This crushing defeat exposes the fundamental weakness of Milei's libertarian project when voters actually experience its real-world consequences. The 13-point margin wasn't just a political loss -- it was a referendum on failed policies that have left Argentines worse off despite promises of economic revival.

The Peronist victory simply reflects the entrenched political machine's ability to mobilize voters through patronage networks and government resources, as evidenced by buses transporting activists to polling stations using public funds. This wasn't a policy endorsement but rather the predictable result of decades-old electoral machinery.

This crushing defeat exposes the failure of Milei's harsh austerity measures that have devastated working families while corruption scandals plague his inner circle. The 13-point loss proves Argentines reject policies that cut social benefits, slash public spending, and benefit only the wealthy while ordinary citizens suffer from rising costs and declining incomes.
