The telephone survey of 2,259 voting-age Argentines by polling company Management & Fit showed disgruntlement over the same interventionist policies that won Fernandez a landslide re-election 10 months ago. The popularity of the 59-year-old Peronist - who is part of a bloc of left-leaning South American leaders including Evo Morales of Bolivia, Rafael Correa of Ecuador and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela - fell by 8.1 percentage points between August and July alone. The international bond market has shunned Argentina since its 2002 sovereign debt default and subsequent embrace of policies that emphasize state intervention in the markets and heavy government spending meant to stoke swift economic growth. As recently as September last year, a month before winning her second term, Fernandez had 64.1 popularity while campaigning on promises of deepening the interventionist policy model of her late husband and predecessor as president, Nestor Kirchner. Since then the economy has slowed, and the Management & Fit poll suggests most people are not buying Fernandez's argument that external factors are mostly to blame. The perception of an increase in street crime was first on the list of complaints voiced by participants in the poll, which had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.2 percentage points. No official crime statistics were available to back this up. Annual inflation, clocked by private analysts at over 20 percent, was another worry voiced in the survey. The government fines economists who publish their inflation estimates, which tend to double or triple the official figures. Participants in the poll also cited growing worries about unemployment. The country's second quarter jobless rate edged up to 7.2 percent from 7.1 percent in the first three months of the year. Fernandez's image benefited from a fast-growing economy during most of her first four-year term. Activity is now being slowed by fallout from Europe's debt crisis, softer demand from key trade partner Brazil and government-imposed currency and import curbs that have further hurt confidence in Latin America's third biggest economy. In the latest sign of malaise, Argentine industrial production fell 2.1 percent in July from a year earlier. Of those surveyed, 44.5 percent said Fernandez's policies were the main cause of Argentina's economic stagnation, while just 8.0 percent blamed it on spillover from problems in other countries.
