BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Ruling party candidate Daniel Scioli may be able to win Argentina's presidential election in the first round, after an opinion poll published on Friday showed he had widened his lead over his closest rival.
Scioli, the anointed candidate of leftist President Cristina Fernandez, would win 41.3 percent of voter backing, including his share of projected undecided votes, the survey by Ricardo Rouvier & Associates showed. Second-placed Mauricio Macri would secure 30.5 percent.
