BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling centre-right party extended its lead in an opinion poll ahead of European Parliament elections, while far-right party Jobbik beat the Socialists to come in second, pollster Median said on Thursday.

Orban was reelected for a second consecutive term in national elections last month, winning a two-thirds parliamentary majority again, while Jobbik won a fifth of votes cast.
