ROME (Reuters) - Fresh from its successes in last month's local ballots, the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) is now Italy's most popular party and would easily win if a national election were held today, three opinion polls showed this week.

One survey by the Ipsos agency, published in daily Corriere della Sera on Wednesday, gave M5S 30.6 percent of the vote, up from 28.9 percent in April, while Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's Democratic Party (PD) fell to 29.8 percent from 31.1 percent.
