Handful of latest polls show SYRIZA in low 30s; ND trailing

Poll: Leftist SYRIZA preferred by 32.1% of respondents to center-right ND's 30.1%

Newsroom January 22 09:08

A handful of opinion polls were published this week ahead of Sunday’s closely watched Greek general election.

According to one poll, conducted by the firm Metrisi, leftist SYRIZA is preferred by 32.1 percent of respondents to center-right New Democracy’s 30.1 percent, a result that purportedly shows a closing of the gap between the two front-runners — at least in this survey.

In terms of voters’ preferences, the results are:

SYRIZA 32.1 percent,

ND 30.1

Golden Dawn 5.4

Potami 5.3

PASOK 4.9

ΚΚΕ 4.3

Independent Greeks 2.7

Kinima 2.4

LA.OS 0.9

DI.MAR 0.7

Other party 3.7

Undecided vote 7.5 percent.

An opinion poll conducted by the Pulse firm for an Athens-area television station puts the difference between SYRIZA and New Democracy at four percentage points.

Results, released on Thursday, show:

SYRIZA  31 percent

ND 27 percent

Potami (River) party 6 percent

PASOK 5.5

Golden Dawn 5.5

KKE 5

The Independent Greeks’ party is shown flirting with the 3-percent figure needed to enter Parliament.

Former PM George Papandreou’s newly founded Kinima party appears below the mark needed to elect deputies, as it polled 2.5 percent.

If the results are extrapolated into Parliament MP representation, the figures show:

SYRIZA 144 deputies

ND 80

POTAMI 19

GOLDEN DAWN 17

PASOK 16

ΚΚΕ 15

Ind. Greeks 9

One-hundred-and-fifty plus one (150+1) are needed for a vote of confidence in Parliament for any new government to assume power.

In an opinion poll conducted by the firm Metron Analysis for the weekly “Parapolitika”, the results are:

SYRIZA 29.6 percent

ND 25.2

Potami 5,9

Golden Dawn 4.4

KKE 4

Ind. Greeks 3.5

PASOK 3.3

Kinima 1.4

LA.OS 1 percent

Other party 3.9

Blank or void ballot 2.6

Abstention 6.1

Undecided 8.1

N/A 1 percent

The opinion poll was conducted on a nationwide sample between Jan. 19 and 21, 2015

In its results, the firm Rass, shows a 4.8-percentage point lead for SYRIZA. The poll will be published in Friday edition of the financial weekly “EpenDysi”.

Specifically:

SYRIZA 31.3 percent

ND 26.5

Potami 6.4

KKE 5.4

Golden Dawn 5.1

PASOK 4.3

Ind. Greeks 3.8

Kinima 2.5

Other party 5.5

Blank or void ballot 1

Undecided 8.2 percent

The opinion poll was conducted on a nationwide sample between Jan. 20 and 21, 2015

The biggest difference between the two front-runners was given by the firm Palmos Analysis for the SYRIZA-friendly website tvxs.gr

SYRIZA 30.2 percent

ND 20.3

Golden Dawn 6.8

Potami 5.1

KKE 4.3

PASOK 3.4

Ind. Greeks 2.2

Kinima 1.7

LA.OS 1.3

Other party 4.5

Blank or void ballot 1.8

Undecided 15.2

Abstention 2.7

N/A 0.6 percent

Asked which party they believe will come in first, regardless of who they will vote for, 77 percent of respondents in this poll answered SYRIZA, to 11 percent for ND.
