The firm

CB Consultora is now CB Global Data.

We study social climate and forecast election scenarios in Latin America. The firm is led by Cristian Buttié and works from Buenos Aires and Miami.

What we do

We measure public opinion across Latin America: every month, the presidential ranking surveys between 1,959 and 3,911 people in each of 18 countries, with its technical sheet published. Our track record in social research methodologies rests on anticipating shifts in social mood and, above all, voter decisions.

We believe our clients need more than a data provider. That is why every measurement goes through a team of experts who interpret it and turn it into information that can be used to decide.

Every month we publish approval rankings of Latin American presidents and capital-city mayors, and of Argentine governors, mayors and senators. Our studies and analysis are cited by outlets such as Financial Times (United Kingdom), El País (Uruguay), Infobae (Argentina), El Tiempo (Colombia), El Universo (Ecuador), La República (Peru), BioBioChile (Chile), A24 (Argentina).
