New Democracy maintains a large lead over PASOK, which is consolidating in second place, while SYRIZA is in fifth place, garnering only 5.8%, according to the large GPO poll on behalf of the “Parapolitika” newspaper.
Specifically, in terms of voting intention, ND registers 26.6%, SYRIZA 5.8% and PASOK 17.1%. They are followed by: Hellenic Solution: 7.8%, KKE: 7.9%, Victory: 3.1%, Freedom Sailing: 3.5%, Voice of Reason: 4.6%, MeRA25: 1.5%, New Left: 2% New party Kasselakis: 2.6%, Other: 1.6%, White Invalid: 1.7%, I will not vote: 1.8%, Undecided: 12.4%.
PASOK, for its part, is the big winner of the last period, already obtaining 34.3% of the positive opinions of the whole for its opposition tacticsfor which 66.4% of the wider public opinion and 80.2% of its voters believe that it should be further sharpened and become tougher towards the government.
PASOK has already taken the position of the essential opposition and is waiting for the completion of the processes in SYRIZA in order to become a parliamentary official opposition. Within a month, it recorded a new increase of 2.8% in the intention to vote and is now at 17.1%, 9.5 percentage points behind the ND, which continues to move in the European elections with 26.6%.
On the contrary, SYRIZA continues to decline in the polls, now at 5.8%, in fifth place, behind the KKE with 7.9% and the Hellenic Solution with 7.8%. Steady upward trend for the Voice of Reason at 4.6%, while we should point out that, although Mr. Kasselakis’s party has not been officially announced and was therefore not included in the list of parties, it recorded spontaneous reports that the bring to 2.6%.
In the evaluation section of New Democracy’s government policy, 61.4% judge the government’s work negativelystressing that the country is probably moving in the wrong direction. However the government continues to garner 37.9% of favorable opinionswhich, based on everything that has happened recently and the polling damage it is undergoing, is quite important, as it provides it with a relatively widened base and an audience that manifests itself with a positive disposition towards the government’s doings.
An important factor is positive assessment of her handling of Greek-Turkishfor whom it continues to enjoy the trust of 51.5%.
“Bell” for SW, Samara and Karamanli
The wider public opinion, as well as the voters of N.D. they do not seem to share to a great extent the concerns that have been expressed in the last period by the former prime ministers Ant. Samaras and K. Karamanliswhose interventions are perceived by the majority at a rate of 58.3% as actions aimed at weakening Mr. Mitsotakis rather than as good services offered to the center-right faction, with the aim of improving its applied policy.
Of course, the responses of the ND voters are of interest, with 50.5% asking for the adoption of a more right-wing political agenda, an opinion which, however, does not seem to be embraced by the rest of the public opinion, which at a percentage of 59% would not like it to see such a turn.
Polakis is the favorite, “tank” for Kasselakis
A special unit of the measurement was the internal party developments in SYRIZA, about whom the first thing we can say as a general observation is the disparity recorded between the voters of the parliamentary elections of 2023, the voters of the European elections and those who today declare their intention to continue voting for him. The electoral behavior and positions of the above-mentioned public show significant differences, which make any assessment of the upcoming elections very difficult or impossible.
A characteristic example is the attitude towards the decision of the Central Committee not to allow the Mr. Kasselakis to be a candidate: The specific decision is judged negatively by the majority of voters, with a different intensity among those who had voted in the European elections, where the negative position is recorded at 75.9%, while among those who remain in the party the corresponding percentage is 56.9 %.
As for the side that is mainly responsible for the split, the voters of the European elections point to the side of the majority, while today’s voters lay the blame mainly on the Kasselakis side. The new element that emerges is the impression of the pool available to the newly founded party, which it considers very and quite likely to vote 8.3% of the total and 27.7% of the SYRIZA voters. We should point out that the specific percentages do not constitute voting intention, but a record of the party’s potential limits.
The contradiction we described above becomes even more pronounced in the attempt to decipher the preferences of SYRIZA voters for the upcoming election process. An environment is therefore being created in which among the voters of the European elections we have an unfair battle between Mr. Polakis and Famellos, which however acquires a very clear favorite, Mr. Polakis, when he focuses on the current voters of the party. It is therefore clear that what will determine the final electoral outcome is the composition of the body that will ultimately take part in the process.
