The presidential run-off on Dec. 19 will see voters cast their ballots in favor of one of two outsider candidates promising to chart wildly different paths.
Polls suggest leftist lawmaker and former student activist, Gabriel Boric, has a slender lead over his ultra-conservative rival, Jose Antonio Kast, although a volatile social mood means the race is likely to go down to the wire.
"There are no moderates anymore," Shreya Mukarji, research analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit, told CNBC via video call. Boric, 35, who rose to prominence in 2011 as a protest leader demanding improvement to the country's education system, won about 26% in the first round — a close second to Kast.
Puig said it had been her team's view for a while that Boric would be most likely to win, highlighting "strong discontent" with the status quo.
