Leftist Mexican presidential candidate leads but gap closing: poll
Ricardo Anaya
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Left-wing Mexican presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has an 8-point lead over rivals  a newspaper poll showed on Thursday  even as  second-place candidate Ricardo Anaya  has narrowed the gap since the previous survey.
Lopez Obrador holds 33 percent of the vote  against 25 percent for  Ricardo Anaya  of the left-right coalition âFor Mexico in Front â according to the survey by Mexican newspaper Reforma.
In Reformaâs previous poll in November   Anaya  held just 19 percent of the vote and the gap between the two frontruners was a larger 12 percentage points.
The results show a similar trend to a poll published by Parametria last week  which also showed  Anaya  gaining slightly but had Lopez Obrador with a larger lead.
