SOFIA (Reuters) - Bulgaria's new anti-establishment party There Is Such a People (ITN) remains closely tied in popularity with the centre-right GERB, which has been in power for most of the past decade, ahead of a July 11 snap election, an opinion poll showed on Thursday.

Anger at graft-prone political elites, which many blame for ensuring Bulgaria remains the European Union's poorest and most corrupt member state, has boosted support for ITN, founded by TV talk-show host Slavi Trifonov.
