Political polls, the Democratic Party flies: Meloni and M5s badly, Calenda under 4%
The latest supermedia of YouTrend political polls – published on March 15 on behalf of Agi – does not appear to be affected by the results of the regional elections in Abruzzo, with the outgoing centre-right president Marco Marsilio defeating the candidate of the centre-left broad camp Luciano D'Amico.
Giorgia Meloni managed to hold Abruzzo but it doesn't seem like she managed to avoid a new fall in the political polls: Fratelli d'Italia has been in constant decline for weeks although still by far the leading political force in the country.
Even Matteo Salvini is not smiling given that the League is said to be in decline again, with the golden age of the Carroccio and its Captain now seeming to have definitively vanished.
Forza Italia polls are stable, however, with the Azzurri now apparently closer to the League and ready for a possible overtaking in the European elections in June.
Overall, also considering We Moderates, the center-right would have fallen by 0.8% in the polls in the last week, but still remained the relative majority in the event of elections.

Abrupt step backwards by the 5 Star Movement which in any case would continue to sail around the percentages obtained in the last elections, a good haul of votes which makes the Grillini indispensable to the Democratic Party in order to build an alternative coalition to the government majority.
The Green-Left Alliance is doing well given that the red-green tandem would currently be above the threshold of 4%, a bar that would not be exceeded for the Action polls.
It is no coincidence that Carlo Calenda is thinking of running as a candidate in the European elections, a way of trying to exploit the "brand" of his name to push his party beyond the coveted 4%.
The person who has announced his candidacy for some time now is Matteo Renzi, with Italia Viva apparently growing in voting intentions like +Europa, but for both parties the threshold appears to be still far away.
Finally, Italexit is in decline and has announced an alliance in the European elections with Sud Gioca Nord, the party of the former mayor of Messina Cateno De Luca who is creating a list called Libertà for the electoral appointment.
