CARACAS | Tue Mar 27, 2012 3:51pm EDT
(Reuters) - President Hugo Chavez has a solid 13-percentage point lead over opposition candidate Henrique Capriles in a new survey ahead of October's election - but many Venezuelans remain undecided.
The opinion poll by respected local firm Datanalisis found that 44 percent of voters favor Chavez compared to 31 percent for Democratic Unity coalition candidate Capriles, according to people who saw a private presentation.
No further details were available for the poll, which was to be formally published later in the week.
