MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's Socialists would win a new general election by a narrow margin and fall short of a parliamentary majority, beating the conservative People's Party (PP) that secured the most votes in July's inconclusive ballot, a survey showed on Thursday.

The country could face a repeat election in January if the candidates for prime minister from either of the two main parties fail to achieve sufficient majorities in the hung parliament to form a new government.
