ARGENTINA: Without first round win, Scioli could struggle
In the final week before the general elections on 25 October, opinion polls differ on the question of whether Daniel Scioli, of the ruling Frente para la Victoria (FPV) faction of the Partido Justicialista (PJ, Peronists), has the support to win outright in the first round. In the event of a second round, according to the pollsters Ipsos-Mora y Araujo, Scioli would still beat Mauricio Macri, from the centre-right Cambiemos coalition, but he would struggle against Sergio Massa, from Una Nueva Alternativa (UNA), who is currently in third place.
