MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's Socialists increased their lead in a poll published on Monday in newspaper ABC with 30.9 percent of votes, equivalent to between 131 and 134 seats in the 350-seat parliament, but fell short of a majority ahead of a general election on April 28.

A coalition of three right-wing parties - People's Party (PP), Ciudadanos and far-right Vox - would get 46.5 percent of votes, equivalent to between 157 and 166 seats, but would also be short of the 176 seats needed to secure an outright parliamentary majority, according to the poll conducted by GAD3.
