BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia's right-wing opposition candidate Oscar Ivan Zuluaga has overtaken President Juan Manuel Santos in a tense race for the presidency, a poll showed on Friday, after two other surveys indicated a lead for Santos or a tie for both.

The poll by researcher Ipsos Napoleon Franco showed 49 percent of the survey's 1,784 respondents backed Santos, versus 41 percent for Zuluaga. The survey, published by local broadcaster RCN, had a 2.3 percent margin of error and was carried out between June 2 and 4.
