The centre right bloc is at 47% in a
new opinion poll for the September 25 genera election spelling a
clear majority in both house of parliament and the advent of far
right Brothers of Italy (FdI) leader Giorgia Meloni as Italy's
first woman and first post-Fascist premier, the Demopolis
research institute said Wednesday.
FdI is top party on 24%, followed by the centre-left Democratic
Party (PD) on 22.6%, Demopolis said in its latest survey.
FdI's main ally the nationalist League party of former
anti-migrant interior minister Matteo Salvini is third on 14.5%,
according to the poll.
The populist 5-Star Movement (M5S), which recently split from an
alliance with the PD and is standing alone, is fourth on 11%.
The third cog in the centre right machine, three-time ex-premier
and media mogul Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia (FI) party, is
fifth on 7% and the so-called 'third pole' of Azione-Italia
Viva, whose leader and former industry minister Carlo Calenda
also recently split with the PD over its alliance with smaller
more leftist parties, is sixth on 5.8%.
The PD's allies, Italian Left-Greens, is polling at 3.7%, and
the independent Italexit party is on 3.1%.
Demopolis Director Pietro Vento said "one month from the vote
the centre right coalition led by Giorgia Meloni's party has an
advantage of over 16 percentage points over Enrico Letta's
centre left, with clear effects on the attribution of
first-past-the-post seats".
About a fifth of the electorate have yet to make up their minds,
he added.
