Mario Monti Is Getting Demolished

Rome, Italy —The first wave of election polls are out, and the good news for international markets is that it looks like center-leftists Pier Luigi Bersani is going to win.

But here's a stunning number.

Check out the collapse in support for Mario Monti, the technocrat, Brussels-approved Prime Minister who came in in late 2011 to help calm markets and pass reform.

This is a huge rejection of his austerity and Brussels.

He's getting totally demolished.

And if his support is too low, he might not enter government at all, potentially throwing everything into chaos.
