MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Leftist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador extended his double-digit lead less than a month out from the July 1 presidential election, two voter surveys showed on Tuesday.

Lopez Obrador, who has consistently ranked at the top of polls, saw his support rise to 37 percent in a late May survey by firm GEA-ISA from 29 percent in a late April poll by the same group. That now puts him 14 percentage points above his closest rival.
