BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - The ruling party's candidate for president of Argentina, who faced doubts about his loyalty to outgoing leader Cristina Fernandez, has won over the party faithful and surged ahead of the pro-business opposition, a poll released on Monday showed.
Buenos Aires Governor Daniel Scioli, of Fernandez's Front for Victory party, has 35.1 percent of voter intentions compared with 26.9 percent held by the capital's Mayor Mauricio Macri, his closest rival, according to the survey by pollster Ricardo Rouvier & Associates. The election is in October.
