Poll shows Turkey presidential vote going to second round
Gulsen Solaker

ANKARA (Reuters) - Tayyip Erdogan is seen falling short of a first-round victory in Turkey’s presidential election and his ruling AK Party is forecast to lose its parliamentary majority in the June 24 vote, a survey by pollster Gezici showed on Thursday.

Gezici’s survey of 6,811 respondents, conducted between May 25-26, showed Erdogan receiving 48.7 percent of votes in the first round of presidential election, with the main opposition candidate, Muharrem Ince, getting 25.8 percent.

Erdogan and Ince were followed by Meral Aksener, a former interior minister who founded the Iyi Party last year after being sacked from the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), which has entered an election alliance with the AK Party. Aksener was seen getting 14.4 percent of votes, Gezici’s poll showed.

It'd be great if he could be voted out of office, a poor economy seems to be one main reason.  Also, enough of the nationalistic and religious fervor Erdogan seems to rely on.

It doesn't make any difference how many "rounds" a Turkish election goes.

The winner will always be...   islam.
