Mexico leftist's lead grows to 4 points in new poll

[cal04]

Mexico's leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador extended his lead over his conservative rival to 4 percentage points in a poll published in the Excelsior newspaper on Tuesday.

With the July 2 ballot looming, the poll gave Lopez Obrador 36.5 percent of the potential vote, compared to 32.5 percent for his closest rival, ruling party candidate Felipe Calderon.

Roberto Madrazo of the Institutional Revolutionary party, which ruled Mexico for 71 years until being beaten by President Vicente Fox in 2000, trailed in third place with 27 percent, unchanged from the previous Excelsior poll, published June 6.
