CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo
Chavez<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/c/hugo_chavez/index.html?inline=nyt-per>appeared
headed for victory on Sunday in a referendum on allowing the
> leftist to rule for as long as he keeps winning elections, government-linked
> sources said, citing exit polls.
>
> Three exit polls showed Chavez won by between six and eight percentage
> points in a vote where turnout was low, the two sources said.
>
> If confirmed, it would be by far the slimmest victory margin in the career
> of a man who wants to rule for life and turn the major oil exporter into a
> socialist state.
