Bratislava, April 28 (TASR) - If the general election had been held in April, Smer-SD would have won on 21.1 percent of votes, with Progressive Slovakia (PS) a runner-up on 19.7 percent of votes and Voice-SD in the third place with 18 percent, according to polls conducted by Focus agency on behalf of TV Markiza.
