The ultra-nationalist Golden Dawn takes third place in one poll, while newly established Potami — a pro-Europe centrist formation — comes in third in the other.

Another two high-profile opinion polls were released over the last 24 hours in Greece ahead of Sunday’s snap general elections, with both showing a comfortable lead by leftist SYRIZA over ruling center-right New Democracy party — a result confirmed by previous polls as well.
