Spanish exit poll predicts Yes victory in EU referendum

Spanish voters overwhelmingly endorsed the European Union constitution in a referendum today – but turnout was only about 41%, an exit poll said.

A total of 78.5% of voters backed the constitution, while 16.2% voted against, according to the Ipsos-Eco Consulting poll carried on Spanish National Television. The survey said turnout for the non-binding vote was 41.5%.
