An exit poll is projecting that Spain’s ruling Popular Party has won the most votes in the general election, but has fallen far short of the votes it needs to win a parliamentary majority.
A poll for the state-owned RTVE channel gave the Popular Party 26.8 percent of the vote. The main opposition Socialist Party, with 20.5 percent is running neck-and-neck for second place with new far left party Podemos, with 21.7 percent. Another upstart party, Ciudadanos, is far behind with 15.2 percent.
Podemos has eaten away support for the center-left Socialists, threatening to end the two-party dominance for decades of the Popular Party and the Socialist Party.
Jorge Clemente, spokesman for pollster TNS Demoscopia, says its figures are based on 180,000 face-to-face interviews.
