PD catching up with M5S - poll

(ANSA) - Rome, May 5 - The ruling centre-left Democratic Party (PD) is catching up with the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) as Italy's top party, according to the latest weekly Ixè poll for public broadcaster RAI.
    The M5S edged down 0.2% to 28.2% over the week while the PD gained 0.6% to 27.9%, the poll found.
    The PD had long been top dog until a recent split saw the M5S overtake it.
    Ex-premier Matteo Renzi's party has been boosted by Sunday's primaries which saw him re-elected PD leader.
