The PSD (Social Democrats) and the CDS-PP (People's Party) will be contesting this election with a single shared list of candidates

An opinion poll taken 7-10 Jan 2014

PSD/CDS-PP  37.1%
PS (Socialist) 35.5%
BE (Left Bloc) 6.9%
CDU (Communist+Green) 9.2%

The PSD and People's Party also contested the 2004 elections as a single list, but contested separately last time,

2009 results:

PSD	31.7%	*	8 seats	+1	EPP
PS (Socialist)	26.5%	-18%	7	-5	PES
Left Bloc	10.7%	+5.8%	3	+2	EUL - NGL
CDU	10.6%	+1.6%	2	nc	EUL/EGP**
People's Party	8.4%	*	2	nc	EPP

* in 2004 the combined list got 33.3% and 9 seats
** The Communist part of CDU are affiliated to EUL. The Ecology part to EGP. However both MEPs are communists.

The poll would seem to represent a partial recovery for the Socialists, largely at the expense of Left Bloc. I'd guess they stand to gain 2-3 seats on those figures - maybe 2 from Left Bloc and 1 from PSD.

The PSD and CDS-PP list of candidates will be called "Aliança Portugal". The CDS-PP candidates will be on the fourth, eighth, fourteenth and nineteenth places on the list.

What does OBN mean in the pie chart above? Is it a political party or does it just mean others?

It's written below the chart. "OBN = Outros partidos + Brancos + Nulos". In English, it would be "other parties + blank + spoilt".

I think it might mean Outros partidos + Blancos + Nulos (Other parties and none and spoilt ballots?)
