German Election Race Narrows Amid Security Threat.

Chancellor Angela Merkel's hopes of forming a new center-right government suffered a blow on Friday, two days before Germany's federal election, as a new opinion poll showed her just short of her goal.The Forsa poll showed 26 percent of voters were still undecided, suggesting Germany could be in for another cliffhanger election.
