COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Denmark's left-wing opposition bloc led by Social Democratic leader Mette Frederiksen stands to oust the current right-wing coalition in parliament, a poll showed on Monday, ahead of a general election that must be held by June.

The Voxmeter survey showed that support has fallen for the populist, anti-immigrant Danish People's Party (DF) that supports the coalition government led by the Liberal Party's Lars Lokke Rasmussen.
