Berlusconi set to win Italian vote, exit polls show
None
Conservative billionaire Silvio Berlusconi was on course on Monday to win Italy's parliamentary election and secure a third term as prime minister, according to exit polls.
Exit polls have not always proved reliable in Italy. One survey for Sky TV after two days of voting ended gave Berlusconi a 2 percentage-point lead over centre-left rival Walter Veltroni in the lower house and a 3-point lead in the upper house. (Reuters)
