Progressive Arevalo leads in poll ahead of Guatemala presidential election

A new public opinion poll released days ahead of Guatemala’s presidential race indicates former dark-horse candidate Bernardo Arevalo is heading into the vote with a healthy lead.
Arevalo, a candidate for the progressive Movimiento Semilla or Seed Movement, is projected to win by 61 percent, according to a survey published on Wednesday by the research firm CID Gallup.
The scandal-ridden race is between former first lady Sandra Torres and Bernardo Arevalo who is vowing to combat corruption.
