LIMA May 8 (Reuters) - Right-wing lawmaker Keiko Fujimori has edged ahead of left-wing nationalist Ollanta Humala ahead of Peru's June 5 presidential run-off, a poll by Ipsos Apoyo showed on Sunday.

The nationwide poll, announced on local television, showed Fujimori getting 41 percent of the vote and Humala with 39 percent. It is the first time a poll has shown Fujimori pulling ahead of Humala.

1. 41% to 39% is hardly a lead worthy of this headline.
Most polls have that much "margin of error."

"Edges ahead...". "Squeaks ahead within margin of error...". "Apparently edges ahead....".

These would have been the headlines if leftist Humala had pulled ahead of Fujimora by only 2-3%. But Rotters is trying to build momentum for the corporate-friendly, rape the environment-friendly, fuck the poor, fascist candidate.

They are so transparent in their ugly campaign against the left in Latin America.
