BUDAPEST, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz party narrowed the gap on opposition rival Tisza in November, an opinion poll showed on Tuesday, helped by large-scale spending ahead of next year's election and a slight improvement in consumer confidence.

The poll conducted on November 21-28 by 21 Research Centre, a Budapest-based think tank, showed Tisza still had a strong lead over Orban's right-wing Fidesz, but it was narrowing. This was similar to the findings of a Median survey published last week.
