El auge de candidatos presidenciales alternativos en Chile, 2009-2017

Resumen

Este artículo explora la creciente popularidad de los candidatos presidenciales alternativos —aquellos que no pertenecen a las dos coaliciones dominantes— en Chile entre 2009 y 2017. Luego de una discusión teórica que se centra en las causas del descontento de los votantes con el establishment político, formulamos cuatro hipótesis. Consideramos que el apoyo hacia candidatos presidenciales alternativos corresponde a una función del desapego ideológico, la disminución de participación política, el voto económico y cambios sociodemográficos en el electorado. Utilizamos tres encuestas pre-electorales del Centro de Estudios Públicos para presentar modelos probit y probabilidades predichas. Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que un segmento específico de votantes chilenos está detrás del auge de candidatos presidenciales alternativos. Este subgrupo está compuesto por votantes más jóvenes y educados. Dichos votantes también se identifican menos con la escala ideológica izquierda-derecha y los partidos políticos tradicionales. A su vez, el subgrupo sufre de ansiedad económica, ya que consideran que la economía se desempeña bien a nivel nacional, mientras se mantienen pesimistas sobre sus perspectivas financieras.
