Three more opinion polls by … well-known polling companies were released on Thursday, with the first (by Metron Analysis) giving conservative New Democracy a razor-slim 0.3 percentage point lead over leftist SYRIZA, while another (by Alco) had the exact same difference, but with SYRIZA ahead – 25.3 to 25 percent for ND.
The third opinion poll (Pulse) shows a tie, at 28 percent.
The “well known” comes in reference to a handful of new firms making their … debut in the current election and commissioned by fringe media or obscure websites.
Alco’s results showed ultra-nationalist Golden Dawn entrenched in third place with 6.2 percent; 6.7 percent by Metron Analysis and 6.5 percent by Pulse
All three opinion poll results showed the rightist-populist Independent Greeks’ party, SYRIZA’s preferred coalition partner, not entering Parliament.
