About 42% of sampled voters favored Odinga, compared with 39% for Ruto, according to a report published by Nairobi-based pollster Tifa Research on Monday. That compares with 39% and 35% for the two candidates respectively in the previous survey in May. The portion of undecided respondents dropped to 10% in June from 15% previously.
