MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's Socialists increased their lead in a poll published on Monday in newspaper ABC that gave them 31.5 percent of votes, but fell short of a majority ahead of a general election on April 28.

It is the third poll in two days that shows the Socialists expanding their advantage, and forecasting that a coalition of three right-wing parties - People's Party (PP), Ciudadanos and far-right Vox - would not get enough seats to form a parliamentary majority.
