40 days until the elections!

It seems that the Social Democrat Party (PSD) and its ally, the small centre-left (social-liberal?!;-))Humanist Party (PUR), remain in the lead ahead of November
general elections, an opinion poll showed on Sunday.

The ISS polling agency's survey of 1,081 people between Oct. 7-10 showed the PSD-PUR group ahead of the centrist opposition alliance by 7.6 percentage points compared to 10 points in a previous poll.

So should we dicover a trend here? ;-)

The survey was conducted nationwide and has a margin of error of five percent.

If we take 5 from 7,6, there remains only 3% ;-) and both presidential and parliamentary elections will be on Nov. 28.

I don't know for sure about all my colegues on this blog but I am a ...'positive' person. And since, in Romanian, Yes = DA, you can reach your own conclusions...D.A.? And you can translate this in english either with Yes or with J.T.

Following are the results of the four latest opinion polls:
