Former student protest leader Gabriel Boric edged back into the lead in Chile’s latest opinion poll, though well within the margin of error, pointing to a tight race ahead of November’s election.
Boric obtained 24% of voter intentions, up from 21% in the previous week’s survey, according to a Cadem poll published on Monday. Right-wing candidate Sebastian Sichel placed second with 22%, down from 24% previously.
