BUENOS AIRES - Argentina’s presidential race looks set to go down to the wire, with the first batch of polls showing incumbent Mauricio Macri and center-left challenger Alberto Fernández neck-and-neck.
The polls, from a range of major domestic pollsters, were split over who would win a runoff. All, however, showed no candidate hitting the 45% threshold to win outright in a first round of voting. Macri, a market-friendly conservative, has seen his popularity hit hard by a recession and swirling economic crisis that dragged down the peso currency last year and sparked near 50% inflation.
Pollsters said that with both Macri and Cristina Fernández unpopular with large swaths of voters, the election may swing on who can win over the middle ground. Alberto Fernández, who is not related to his running-mate, is seen as a moderate voice within the Peronist opposition.
