The centre-left Democratic Party (PD)
and the nationalist Brothers of Italy (FdI) have edged ahead of
the nationalist League party in Italians' voting intentions
according to the latest poll from IPSOS.
It is the only recent poll to show this result.
The League has long been the biggest party in Italy but the FdI
has been creeping up on it and its progress has been boosted by
its decision to oppose Mario Draghi's national unity government,
the only main party to do so.
The PD has meanwhile made some further progress under new leader
Enrico Letta, a former premier.
IPOSO put the PD at 20.8%, FdI at 20.5%, and the League at
30.1%, down a couple of points.
Other polling agencies still have the League a tad ahead of the
PD with FdI a close third.
