Russia poll predicts big win for pro-Kremlin party
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian pollster FOM predicted on Monday that the pro-Kremlin United Russia party will win 60.1 percent support in a December 2 parliamentary election.
The poll shows a slight drop, down 2 percent, for United Russia on its previous poll released last week.
Only two other parties, the Communist Party and the nationalist LDPR, will scrape over the 7 percent threshold to qualify for seats, according to the FOM poll carried out on November 24-25.
