MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican leftist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has double the support of his nearest rival three weeks ahead of the country’s presidential election, a major poll for employers’ federation Coparmex showed on Tuesday.

The May 30 to June 6 nationwide survey by polling firms Berumen and Ipsos drew on more than 13,000 interviews.

Asked who they would vote for “today,” 41.7 percent of respondents opted for the former Mexico City mayor Lopez Obrador, followed by 21.0 percent for Ricardo Anaya, who is running at the head of a right-left coalition.

In third, with 13.6 percent support, was Jose Antonio Meade, candidate of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).
