Another Greek Poll Shows New Democracy Leading SYRIZA

In the lead-up to the September 20 elections in Greece, a new opinion poll showed New Democracy leading SYRIZA by 0.8%.

According to the poll, which will be published on the Saturday edition of Greek newspaper “Parapolitka,” New Democracy garnered 30.4% of the intended vote while SYRIZA had 29.6%. This is the second poll during this week showing New Democracy leading.

Respondents once again denied the Independent Greeks (ANEL), SYRIZA’s former coalition partner, a presence in the Greek parliament as the party got 2.6% of the intended vote. The minimum requirement for entry in the Greek parliament is 3% of the vote.

Popular Unity, recently formed by former SYRIZA MP Panagiotis Lafanzanis, got 4% of the intended vote and the Centrists Union, a party that has never had a seat in the Greek parliament, gathered 5% of the vote.
