Madrid - The Spanish Prime Minister, Mr Jose Maria Aznar, is likely to be reelected on March 12th with more of the vote than four years ago but still short of a parliamentary majority, an opinion poll said yesterday.

The poll, drawn up by the government's Centre of Sociological Research, showed Mr Aznar's centre-right Popular Party would win 41.6 per cent of the vote, 5 per cent ahead of the main opposition Socialists.
