La Repubblica, which published all the polls conducted on Lazio, entitled it ‘the poll of regrets’.
This is in fact the latest survey on the candidates to govern the Lazio Region, and it shows, crystal clear, a centre-left coalition that is fragmented and will compete with extreme difficulty against that of the centre-right.
As of today there is an 8.4 point gap between the favourite, Francesco Rocca, and the councillor for health in the Zingaretti junta, Alessio D’Amato.
Both Rocca and D’Amato have gathered, according to this latest survey before electoral silence, less consensus than the political forces supporting them. Only Donatella Bianchi, candidate for M5S, gathered more votes and in fact rose to 19.1%.
To be noted: Fratelli d’Italia went from 32.4 to 28.8% in about a month of polling. Since mid-December, Giorgia Meloni’s party has also decreased its support in Lazio. The League stands at 5.2 per cent in consensus and ranks behind Forza Italia, which stands at 7.8 per cent.
The Pd, on the other hand, is the only one among the main parties to grow: it goes from 18.7 to 19.4%.
Moral: with these numbers, if the centre-left had stood united, i.e. the Pd together with the M5S who have governed the region together for the last three years, they could have won without the need for the Third Pole.
