ROME Apr 10, 2006 (AP)— Two exit polls indicated Monday that challenger Romano Prodi's center-left coalition was set to beat Premier Silvio Berlusconi's forces in Italian parliamentary elections.
Two Nexus polls indicated that Prodi's coalition received between 50 and 54 percent of the vote in both the upper and lower chambers of parliament, while Berlusconi's coalition received between 45 and 49 percent.
The exit polls broadcast by state-run RAI television and Berlusconi's Mediaset channels had a margin of error of 2 percentage points.

Berlusconi is the best Prime Minister Italy has had in 50 years; and I'm sorry they're losing him.
Italy will be the worse for it.
With a liberal in charge, the Muzzies continue their takeover of Europe.
I'm sure the creepy EU types will be glad to see him go. Next they'll go after Blair and Kwaœniewski.
Didn't exit polls have Bush losing once??
Yes, but Berlusconi controls the polling companies, creating little incentive to cheat...
LOL good point!
Center-left. Well, Italy slides left again.
Beat me by a whole 40 seconds. I concede.
Exit schmolls. They don't mean nothing!
Yep. The Euros continue their slide into oblivion.
OTOH, if we do not do something about our own "immigration "problem, we could find ourselves in similiar straits.
