Slovenian Opposition Party Narrows Poll Lead Before Election

Slovenia’s center-left party of Prime Minister Robert Golob all but closed the gap behind the country’s nationalist opposition, a new poll showed with just two weeks before a tight parliamentary election.

Golob’s Freedom Movement gained four percentage points, drawing 20.3% support, more than halving the lead of Janez Jansa’s Slovenian Democratic Party, which has 22.4% backing, according to a survey by pollster media for the Delo newspaper published Monday.
