Argentine ruling party presidential candidate leads rival - poll
BUENOS AIRES


The candidate from the party of Argentina's outgoing President Cristina Fernandez has a lead over his more business-friendly rival with four months to go before the October election, according to a poll released on Tuesday.

Buenos Aires Governor Daniel Scioli, of Fernandez's Front for Victory party, is favoured by 36.9 percent of voters while Mauricio Macri, the mayor of the capital city who favours more orthodox economic policies, has 31.6 percent, according to the poll by local consultancy Management & Fit.

A poll released on Monday by Ricardo Rouvier & Associates said Scioli had 35.1 percent of the vote versus Macri's 26.9 percent.

Fernandez, constitutionally barred from seeking a third term in October, has established trade and currency controls that have weighed down Latin America's No. 3 economy while government fiscal accounts have been eroded by high state spending.

1. Rotters can't help shilling for "austerity"...

...even when their propaganda is irrelevant to the news story, and, indeed, even when their propaganda is contradicted by the news story.

The Left is WINNING in Argentina (and most of South America), despite Rotters' best efforts to brainwash Argentinians and South Americans that they should love being global bankster victims. Quite stubbornly, the voters of Argentina and South America keep voting for "eroded fiscal accounts," "high state spending," and "weighing down" predatory global capitalists, and their own and our uber rich. Damn them! Why don't they vote for our masters to get all their money? Don't these voters understand what second yachts, third private jets and four mansions cost?

Fernandez... has established trade and currency controls that have weighed down Latin America's No. 3 economy while government fiscal accounts have been eroded by high state spending. --Rotters (my emphasis)

I don't call them Rotters for nothing.

2. "Rotters" works. They've earned the name, they really should be forced to wear it. n/t
