New polling numbers for next week's presidential election...are all over the map.
Grouch and sometimes leftist...Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador...aka 'AMLO"...is again making noises about protesting voting fraud...if he loses...as he did by an eyelash...in 2006.
Then massive protests caused chaos in the DF for weeks...and pissed off many residents.
AMLO insists he is ahead narrowly...while most polls show the PRI's Pena Nieto ahead by 10 points.
Several large university student protests...over TV coverage and PRI corruption...called 'Yo Soy 132'...that went viral...briefly boosted AMLO's numbers.
But officials insist vote fraud like that claimed in 2006...is now near impossible.
