LISBON - Portugal’s ruling Socialists have extended their big lead in an opinion poll five weeks before an Oct. 6 parliamentary election, the latest edition of the survey showed on Saturday, suggesting Prime Minister Antonio Costa could win his first full majority.
The survey by pollster Pitagorica for TSF radio and the Jornal de Noticias newspaper put the center-left Socialists on 43.6% of voting intentions, up from 43.2% a month ago, leaving the main opposition Social Democrats well behind at just 20.4%. Majority rule for the Socialists, or a pact with one ally instead of two, could help the government to maintain policies to balance the budget and attract more foreign investment.
Left Bloc rose to 10% of voting intentions, according to the poll, while the Communist Party was little changed at 6.6%.
