Slovenia Opposition Extends Poll Lead Six Weeks Before Election

Slovenian opposition leader Janez Jansa extended his lead over Prime Minister Robert Golob’s center-left party less than six weeks ahead of a parliamentary election, boosting the chances that the Donald Trump-aligned nationalist may return to power.

Jansa’s Slovenian Democratic Party drew 21% support, widening its lead over Golob’s Freedom Movement to five percentage points, according to a survey by pollster Mediana for newspaper Delo.
