Portugal PM set for election win without majority – exit polls

LISBON (Reuters) - Portugal Prime Minister Antonio Costa's Socialists were poised to win Sunday's parliamentary election by a wide margin but likely landing short of an outright majority, meaning they will need to seek potentially difficult alliances, exit polls showed. A total of four polls put the centre-left party in the overall range between 33.3% and 40% of the vote, which would give them more seats than in the last election in 2015 in a boost coming after four years of solid economic growth. The main opposition Social Democrats (PSD) were on 24.2%-31%.
