Mexican front-runner Pena Nieto extends big lead

Mexico's presidential front-runner Enrique Pena Nieto has extended his big lead in the run-up to the July 1 election following a sharp drop in support for the ruling party candidate, an opinion poll showed on Monday.

The voter survey by polling firm Buendia & Laredo for newspaper El Universal showed backing for Pena Nieto, candidate of the opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), at 41.6 percent, down from 42.5 percent in a poll published on March 26.

However, due to a decline in the fortunes of Josefina Vazquez Mota, candidate of President Felipe Calderon's conservative National Action Party (PAN), Pena Nieto could be on course for a landslide victory if his support holds.

Vazquez Mota dipped to 17.5 percent from 23.7 percent in the paper's last survey, increasing Pena Nieto's effective lead.

Leftist contender Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the runner-up to Calderon in the 2006 election, was at 16.4 percent, compared with 16.9 percent in the March poll.

Please do English or Spanish. If you do Spanish make it all Spanish. Please note that that adjectives are after the noun or pronoun in Spanish.
