First Italian exit polls: victory for No campaign (defeat for centre-left PM)
Italy’s exit polls are notoriously unreliable, says Stephanie Kirchgaessner in Rome, but early indications are showing a win for No. Rai News estimates 58-54% of Italians favoured No, while 46-42% supported Yes. If the results hold, it will be a major defeat of Matteo Renzi and Italy’s centre-left Democratic party and a big win for his opponents in the Five Star Movement and the far-right Northern League.
