MEXICO CITY
Mexican leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador leads his conservative rival by three percentage points in Mexico's presidential race, according to the second poll on Tuesday putting the former Mexico City mayor in front.

The poll, conducted by the Consulta Mitofsky polling group and broadcast on the Televisa television channel, gave 35 percent to Lopez Obrador and 32 percent to Felipe Calderon.

Earlier on Tuesday, a poll in the Milenio newspaper gave 34.2 percent to Lopez Obrador and 31 percent to Calderon ahead of the July 2 election. Most other recent polls had put the pair in a tie.

No margin of error was given for the Mitofsky poll.
