Libertarian outsider Javier Milei holds an edge over Economy Minister Sergio Massa in Argentina’s Nov. 19 presidential runoff, according to a polling firm whose first-round prediction was among the most accurate.
Brazil-based AtlasIntel, in a survey released Friday, puts Milei’s support at 48.5% compared to 44.7% for Massa, the candidate for the incumbent Peronist government who came in first on Oct. 22. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
