Pulse: ND leads PASOK by 15.5 points – Where Tsipras and Samaras are “fishing” for voters

84% consider inflation an important issue – 57% of centrists agree with the government’s amendment regarding the Unknown Soldier, 46% of the general public say “yes” – 60% agree with the prime minister’s interventions on Turkey and SAFE, but most demand further action

Slight fluctuations compared to the September survey were recorded in party dynamics, according to the Pulse poll presented on SKAI’s main news bulletin.

In voting intention, New Democracy (ND) once again stands at 29%, slightly above its European election result, while PASOK loses half a point, dropping to 13.5%, confirming the trend seen in other recent polls.

The survey points to an eight-party Parliament, as Niki and Kasselakis’s party remain below the threshold.

Hellenic Solution gains half a point, reaching 10%, while Course of Freedom loses another point, falling to 9.5% within a month — tying for fourth place with the Communist Party (KKE).

SYRIZA loses half a point and stands at 6.5%, while Voice of Logic shows a small rise to 4%. MeRA25 also makes it into Parliament with 3%.

Where citizens say “yes”

The Pulse poll emphatically confirms that inflation remains the biggest problem for Greek society, with 84% of respondents considering it the most or one of the most important issues. 46% agree with the amendment on the Unknown Soldier, while 44% disagree.

There is cross-party support for the government’s precondition — the lifting of the casus belli — for Turkey’s participation in the SAFE initiative, though most respondents want this to be accompanied by further actions.

Tsipras’s audience

Pulse identifies left-wing and center-left voters as the core of support for Alexis Tsipras’s moves. Beyond SYRIZA voters — 77% of whom view positively or with interest the prospect of the former prime minister founding a new political entity — high approval levels are also recorded among voters of Course of Freedom, the KKE, and (to a lesser extent) PASOK.

Those looking toward Samaras

Among right-wing and, to a lesser extent, center-right voters are those who view positively or with interest the possibility of an “Antonis Samaras party.” Its core is measured at 5%.

According to Pulse, this potential electorate is mainly composed of discontented ND voters — people who voted for the ruling party in 2023 but do not express the same preference today. Among them, 12% view such a scenario positively, while another 10% find it “interesting.”
