Main opposition PASOK has slightly narrowed its popularity gap from the governing New Democracy conservatives who, however, still maintain a lead well into the two digits according to a new poll released Monday.<\/p>\n
The Opinion Poll survey on behalf of Action 24 TV found that were parliamentary elections to be promptly held ND would get 31.2% of the vote \u2013 1.5 percentage points fewer than in March.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Socialist PASOK would come second at a distant 14.4%, 1.2 percentage points more than in March but still 16.8 points fewer than ND.<\/p>\n
Populist nationalist Greek Solution placed third at 9.4%, followed by populist leftist Course of Freedom at 8.2%, the Greek Communist Party at 7.8%, and leftwing SYRIZA and rightwing Voice of Reason both at 4.3%. Other parties polled well below the 3% parliamentary entry threshold.<\/p>\n
A significant 12.6% of respondents \u2013 up from 8.8% in March \u2013 said they would vote for some other unspecified party.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis remained the most popular party leader, at 28.9%, followed at 9.9% by former SYRIZA leader and prime minister Alexis Tsipras who has said he proposes to form a new party before the next elections. PASOK\u2019s Nikos Androulakis came in a distant third at 5.8%.<\/p>\n
Some 19.1% said they would very or quite likely vote for a new party headed by Tsipras, and 21.1% for Maria Karystianou, former head of the association of bereaved relatives of victims of the 2023 Tempe train crash, who has also said she proposes to start a new party.<\/p>\n
Asked about the prospect of snap elections, 39.3% opined against them and 28.4% were in favor.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
