ROME (Reuters) - More than 60 percent of Italian voters support electoral reforms proposed by centre-left leader Matteo Renzi and 50 percent welcome his deal on the package with centre-right rival Silvio Berlusconi, according to an opinion poll on Saturday.
The survey, by the Ipsos polling institute for the daily Corriere della Sera, offers encouragement for Renzi who pushed through the proposals in the face of scepticism from many on his own side only weeks after winning the leadership of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD).
