Pulse Poll: ND at 30%, PASOK at 16%, SYRIZA at 12.5% in voting estimate

A Pulse poll presented on Skai’s main news bulletin showed that ND (New Democracy) has returned to higher levels compared to the European elections, with an estimated vote share of 30%. PASOK comes in second with 16%—3.2 points higher than in the European elections—and SYRIZA is third with an estimated vote share of 12.5%, losing nearly 2.5 points compared to June’s European elections.

The 3-point gap between PASOK and SYRIZA is the largest ever recorded by this company, as in November-December 2023, the difference was just 1 point in favor of PASOK.

The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) shows a slight rise of 0.3 points, while the Velopoulos party shows minor losses. Niki remains at 4.4%, and Plefsi Eleftherias records a rise of 0.6 points. Once again, MeRA25 appears to reach the 3% threshold, while Nea Aristera shows a loss of half a point at 2%. A big winner is Aphrodite Latinopoulou, with Foni Logikis gaining 1.5 points, reaching 4.5% in the voting estimate.

Majority Opposes No-Confidence Motion Against Kasselakis

Only 31% of SYRIZA voters—coincidentally the same percentage among ND and PASOK voters—view the no-confidence motion against Kasselakis in the Central Committee of SYRIZA positively. A significant portion of the Greek public is interested in SYRIZA’s internal elections, with 28% saying they are very or somewhat interested.

Androulakis Leads Ahead of PASOK Elections

Among current PASOK voters, it’s a close race between Androulakis and Doukas, while among those who intend to vote in the internal elections, Androulakis has a 5-point lead, with Doukas and Diamantopoulou tied at 22%.
