National Future at 5.3%, same as League says new poll

General turned politician Roberto

Vannacci's new far-right party National Future (FN) is polling

at 5.3%, the same as the right-wing League party he recently

quit shortly after being appointed its deputy leader, a new poll

said Monday.

FN, which officially launched at the weekend, has gained half a

point in a week and is now level with the League (which lost

0.3%) at 5.3% in the Italian voting outlook surveyed by SWG for

Tg La7.

Pemier Giorgia Meloni's right-wing Brothers of Italy is down

0.4% compared to last week at 27.9%, while the centre-left

opposition Democratic Party (PD) is up 0.1% at 22.1%, the

opposition populist Five Star Movement (M5S) up 0.2% at 13.3%,

and the centre-right post Berlusconi Forza Italia party also up

0.2% at 7.2%.

The opposition Green-Left Alliance AVS is stable at 6.5% and

centrist opposition Italia Viva (IV) also steady at 2.4%.

Centrist non-aligned Azione (Action) is at 3.5% (-0.1%),

centrist opposition +Europa at 1.6% (+0.1%), centre-right Noi

Moderati (We Moderates) at 1.1% (-0.1%), and centrist Ora! at 1%

as it was seven days ago.

Vannacci is currently seen as too far right to be counted among

the centre-right parties, which have fallen slightly behind the

centre-left alliance in the polls.

If he joins the Meloni-led alliance before or after the next

general election, currently scheduled for October next year, he

could keep her in power.
