By EUOBSERVER
Austria's far-right Freedom Party candidate Norbert Hofer has widened his lead ahead of October's repeat election for the presidency, according to a Gallup poll published by the Oesterreich tabloid on Sunday. Some 52 percent support of 600 respondents said they would back Hofer, with his opponent Alexander Van der Bellen, a Green-backed independent, trailing on 48 percent.
