BERLIN (Reuters) - Chancellor Angela Merkel's lead in the polls is narrowing days before a federal election, suggesting she could be forced into another "grand coalition" that might struggle to lift Germany out of a deep downturn.
Merkel is hoping to avoid a replay of the right-left partnership that has ruled Germany for the past four years, because she says it would be less stable and have trouble pushing through the policies Europe's largest economy needs.
