Two exit polls indicated Monday that challenger Romano Prodi's center-left coalition was set to beat Premier Silvio Berlusconi's forces in parliamentary elections.

Two Nexus polls issued 45 minutes apart indicated that in voting Sunday and Monday, Prodi's coalition had garnered between 50 and 54 percent of the vote in both the upper and lower chambers of parliament, while Berlusconi's coalition had between 45 and 49 percent.

Both exit polls gave Prodi's coalition between 159 and 170 seats in the Senate, compared to 139 and 150 for Berlusconi's center-right alliance. The polls, which had a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points, did not give an immediate breakdown for seats in the lower Chamber of Deputies.

Dario Franceschini, coordinator of the center-left La Margherita, or Daisy, party _ a major partner in Prodi's coalition _ was jubilant after the first exit poll was released, but cautioned that prudence was necessary.

"Italy has been waiting for five years, and deserves this moment," he said. "If the vote confirms these first exit polls, a strong victory awaits us."

Paolo Guzzanti, a senator with Berlusconi's Forza Italia party, appeared resigned to defeat.

"The numbers can change a little but it is clear that the center-left has won and the center-right has lost," he said after the second poll was released. "It will be up to us to organize the opposition."

Other center-right leaders, however, urged caution.

"We want to see the real vote count," Denis Verdini, electoral coordinator for Forza Italia, was quoted as saying by the ANSA news agency. "There have always been surprises" with this electoral law.
