So today pollster Datum has just called Ollanta Humala ahead with 50.8% of valid votes, with Keiko Fujimori on 49.2%, according to Reuters. The poll was taken on June 2nd and third, 5015 people gave their opinions and the margin of error is +/- 1.4%.

Meanwhile, we're waiting forPeru's most respected pollster Ipsos/Apoyo to give its last poll at 6pmlocal time (7pm EST), about two hours from now. We hear it will includeopinions up to 1pm today, so fresh as a daisy it will be. Your humblescribe will update this post when that report is available.
