League at 24.2%, PD 17.4%, M5S and FdI 17% in new poll Salvini's party up, PD down amid leadership change 16 Marzo 2021 ROME, MAR 16 - If Italy were to go to the polls today, the nationalist League party of former interior minister Matteo Salvini would top the vote with 24.2%, the SWG polling agency said Tuesday in its weekly survey. The League's score is slightly up on last week. The centre-left Democratic Party (PD), which has switched leaders from Lazio Governor Nicola Zingaretti to former premier Enrico Letta amid internal turmoil, was down almost two points at 17.4% but was still the second biggest party.
