In Argentina, Bush Victory Triggers Worries
(CPOD) Nov. 8, 2004 - The re-election of George W. Bush in the United States is a concern for many people in Argentina, according to a poll by Ricardo Rouvier y Asociados. 49.8 per cent of respondents believe Bush's win will be "more negative" for the South American country.
In American elections, candidates require 270 votes in the Electoral College to win the White House. Bush earned a second term after securing 286 electoral votes from 31 states.
Last year, Bush backed Argentine president Néstor Kirchner's efforts to reach a new accord with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) following the South American country's economic crisis. The deal postpones all debt repayments to multilateral institutions until 2006.
