Ruling New Democracy party is holding firm at 25.5% in voter intention, while main opposition PASOK is recording modest gains following its party congress, according to a Pulse poll conducted for SKAI television between March 29-31.
PASOK climbed one percentage point to reach 12%, appearing to consolidate second place among opposition parties.
The poll was conducted before criminal case files related to the OPEKEPE agricultural payments agency entered the political conversation.
Nationalist Greek Solution registered 7.5%, up half a point, while protest party Course of Freedom was also at 7.5% but dropped half a point. The Communist Party (KKE) reached 7%, gaining half a point. Leftist SYRIZA dropped one point to 4%. No other party crossed the 3% threshold.
The poll found that 43% of Greeks cite economic consequences as their primary concern stemming from the Middle East conflict. Military involvement worried 20% of respondents, general instability 17%, humanitarian crisis and refugee flows 13%, and terrorism 5%.
Activist Maria Karystianou, whose daughter was one of the 57 victims in the Tempe railway disaster three years ago, announced on April 1 her new political movement. Prior to the announcement, Pulse, asking respondents “how would you view a potential new party” led by her, recorded a theoretical vote share of 26%. Some 13% answered “positively” and 13% “with interest.” These figures are unchanged from the company’s previous measurement conducted between March 7-10.
On the same question regarding Alexis Tsipras, there was no significant change: 13% of respondents answered “positively” (up 1%) and 9% “with interest” (down 1%).
The broader political landscape, analysts note, remains fluid, with ongoing investigations and emerging parties likely to further reshape the opposition picture.
