"I will vote for whomever seems the least bad. But I tell you I'm 50-50 until Sunday," said Soledad Sanchez, a public accountant in Buenos Aires, adding that she was oscillating between the two main opposition candidates Bullrich and Milei.Libertarian economist Milei is in pole position to win, though would likely face a second round.
"In that system the divides are going to be increasingly wide. ... I don't want that model at all," she said."There's no debate who I will vote for in these elections. It will be Sergio Massa." Milei, however, has been the talk of the campaign since posting a shock win in the August primary and leading most of the recent polls. He has clicked with voters, especially the young, angry at years of economic malaise that is sharpening now with inflation at 138% and two-fifths of people in poverty.
