Chile Poll Shows Evelyn Matthei and Jose Antonio Kast Tied in Race for Presidency
Chile ultra conservative candidate Jose Antonio Kast tied center-right contender Evelyn Matthei atop a new presidential poll, marking the latest twist in the race to lead one of Latin America's richest economies.
Kast was backed by 17% of respondents, up from 14% the week prior and 13% at the start of May, according to a Cadem survey published late on Sunday. Matthei also garnered 17%, though her backing was down from 20% in the poll published on May 11 and 22% at the beginning of the month.
