MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexican leftist presidential

lead over his conservative rival ahead of the July 2 election,
the Mitofsky polling group said on Thursday.

Its poll gave Lopez Obrador 36 percent support with
conservative former energy minister Felipe Calderon on 33

Third-placed candidate Roberto Madrazo of the Institutional
Revolutionary Party which ran Mexico for most of the 20th
century trailed with 27 percent.
