In the latest GPO poll, the ruling conservative party of New Democracy (ND) appears to consolidate its lead, with center-left PASOK and leftist Plefsi Eleftherias vying for the second spot. Responding to the question, “Which party would you vote for if elections were held tomorrow?” 26% said ND, PASOK 12.7%, and Plefsi Eleftherias (Course of Freedom) 12.5%.
Adjusted on valid ballots, New Democracy leads with 30.3%. PASOK follows in second place with 14.7%, closely trailed by Plefsi Eleftherias at 14.6%, making it the third-largest party.
Elliniki Lysi (Greek Solution) holds 10.8%, while the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) registers 8.4%. SYRIZA stands at 6.1%, and Voice of Reason garners 3.5%. A large majority of 67% rate the government’s overall performance negatively, with 32.9% of respondents viewing the government positively.
The government’s actions in the digital transformation of the state (57.4%), national defense (48.3%), the attraction of foreign investment (38.5%), and foreign policy (36.3%) are rated the best by those asked.
The poll findings revealed that the government received low marks on key issues like inflation (14.2%), combating crime (17.6%), tax policy (23%), migration management (23.4%), and the functioning of the justice system (23.8%).
50.4% of the population report a deterioration in their economic situation, while 42.4% say it has remained unchanged over the past six months. Similar trends are reflected in perceptions of the country’s overall economic condition, although the percentage reporting improvement stands at 15.1%—double that of those who see an improvement in their personal finances.
Unsurprisingly, Kyriakos Mitsotakis leads on the question of who is the most suitable to be prime minister, with 27.2%.
