BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The centre left is likely to win the most seats in European Parliament elections in May, a survey showed on Wednesday, boosting the group's chances of also winning the presidency of the European Commission.

The Socialists and Democrats, the second-largest group in the 751-seat parliament, will take 221 seats, a 14 percent improvement on their current standing, according to PollWatch, an analysis of opinion polls led by professors at the London School of Economics and Trinity College Dublin.
