Bulgaria's Socialists have closed the gap with the center-right GERB party of former Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, according to an opinion poll, released just two days before the crucial general elections on Sunday.
An opinion poll by the private Gallup agency put support for GERB at 24%, closely followed by the Socialists on 23.6%.
