Exit polls: Sarkozy loses in France, Greek voters also turn on leadershttp://www.sunherald.com/2012/05/06/3929453/exit-polls-show-sarkozy-has-lost.html
By Roy Gutman - McClatchy Newspapers
ATHENS -- Voters in France and Greece delivered a harsh judgment on their ruling parties in elections Sunday, almost certainly ousting President Nicolas Sarkozy from power in France and severely punishing the two leading parties in Greece, according to initial exit polls.
Francois Hollande held a strong lead of 52.5 to 47.5 per cent over Sarkozy, all but assuring the return of Socialists to power in France for the first time in 17 years, according to exit polls released by Swiss and Belgian news media three hours before the close of the polls.
