BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Former Argentine President Cristina Fernandez enjoys a wide lead in her October Senate election bid against an opponent backed the country's current leader and Fernandez's long-time political nemesis Mauricio Macri, a poll published on Friday showed.

Fernandez, who ran up deficits but was popular with the poor for generous welfare spending during her eight years in power, got 35.6 percent voter intention in the survey of Buenos Aires province by local pollster Ricardo Rouvier & Associates.
