KIEV (Reuters) - A bloc supporting President Petro Poroshenko looks set to register a strong win in a parliamentary election in Ukraine overshadowed by the separatist conflict in the east, according to a poll published on Friday.

Poroshenko, elected by a landslide last May after the overthrow of a Moscow-backed predecessor, is looking to the Oct. 26 vote to provide further legitimacy to the new pro-Western order in Kiev and backing for his plan to bring peace to the eastern regions while keeping them within Ukraine.
