Early Poll in Argentina Predicts Narrow Election Win for Macri in Runoff

Reuters

   BUENOS AIRES - Argentine President Mauricio Macri could edge out his
   main challenger in the event of an election runoff later this year,
   according to an opinion poll published on Thursday, one of the first
   since candidates officially announced their plans to run.

   The poll from local firm Management &Fit suggested Macri would win by 2
   percentage points in a head-to-head contest with Peronist rival Alberto
   Fernandez, whose running mate is populist former President Cristina
   Fernandez de Kirchner.
