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.
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.
On Friday, the firm Kapa Research pointed to a standing difference between SYRIZA and ND, specifically:
SYRIZA 33.5 percent
ND 30.1
Golden Dawn 6.1
Potami 5.5
PASOK 5.1
KKE 4.9
Ind. Greeks 2.9
Kimina 2.8
Other party 4.2
N/A, unknown 4.9
Asked who they believe will win the next election, regardless of who they vote for, 75.2 of respondents said SYRIZA, 17.6 New Democracy.
The poll was unveiled on the website tovima.gr
