Overview

• Ipsos for Corriere della Sera places Francesco Acquaroli at 50.1% versus Matteo Ricci at 44.8% in the Marche, while EMG Different estimates 52% to 46%, and Fratelli d’Italia leads party preferences at 25% over the PD at 21.6%.
• Noto Ipr polling shown on Porta a Porta indicates Calabria’s incumbent Roberto Occhiuto at about 54% against Pasquale Tridico at roughly 45.5%.
• AGCOM archived a case after Dagospia removed an item touting a ‘riservato’ poll unfavorable to the center-right, following a Forza Italia complaint that the survey lacked required disclosures.
• At an FI youth event, Carlo Calenda said Azione will not run in the Marche and he would not back parties proposing the reddito di cittadinanza, as Antonio Tajani floated possible convergence on a civic candidate in Milan.
• The same event saw Sicily governor Renato Schifani leave after a clash with Calenda, and in Calabria a Tridico-list candidate, neurologist Francesco Del Giudice, faces a personal-injury accusation with a November 21 hearing in Vibo Valentia.
