MADRID (Reuters) - A leftist alliance led by anti-austerity force Podemos will make big gains in Spain's national election on June 26, according to a closely-watched opinion poll on Thursday that cast new doubt over the complexion of the country's next government.

The survey, based on 17,600 interviews and deemed the most reliable to predict election results, showed the vote would be split between four main parties and four smaller ones, confirming a new era of political fragmentation and uncertainty in Spain after four decades of a stable two-party system.
