Poll shows Turkey's Erdogan likely to win election

Turkey's ruling AK Party, led by Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, has the backing of 46% of voters, less than six months before a national election, an opinion poll published on Sunday showed.

If the findings of the survey, conducted in December by Konsensus pollster for the Haberturk newspaper, were replicated in the June vote, the AK Party would secure a third consecutive term, having first come to power in 2002. (Reuters)
