Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro’s AD coalition led the opposition Socialists by a margin of 6.6 percentage points in an opinion poll, TVI reported on its website.

Portugal will face an early election on May 18, its third in just three years, after parliament toppled the prime minister’s center-right minority government in a confidence vote on March 11.
