Pulse: ND at 30% with a 16-point lead over PASOK – 59% positive views on the energy agreements

The government gained points with the Zappeion energy deals, earning +0.5% in voting intention – PASOK also up by half a point – Eight-party parliament – Top problems remain high prices and the OPEKEPE scandal – 14% view a “Tsipras party” positively – 6% positive views for a “Samaras party”

In the wake of the major energy agreements at the Zappeion – and despite the fact that high prices and the OPEKEPE scandal strongly concern public opinion – ND gains half a percentage point in voting intention and reaches 30% (with undecideds distributed), according to the new Pulse poll presented on SKAI’s main newscast.

The governing party’s lead over the main opposition rises to 16 points (from 15.5 in October) in voting estimate, despite PASOK also gaining 0.5 points compared to last month.

The company recorded stability at 8% for Hellenic Solution and 5.5% for SYRIZA, while Plefsi Eleftherias and the KKE lose half a point, tying at 7% in voting intention. Foni Logikis and MeRA25 lose half a point in voting intention but are recorded at 4% in voting estimate, while Niki, Nea Aristera, and Kinima Dimokratias fall below the parliamentary threshold, according to the poll. Meanwhile, the “grey zone” (undecided, blank, none) rises again, reaching 18%.

Energy agreements

Across all age groups there is more than 50% approval for the government’s initiatives in the energy sector to make Greece an energy hub – overall approval reaches 59% – while only among those who self-identify as “left-wing” does approval fall to a minority (31%).

The “new parties”

Positive views for a potential “Tsipras party” rise by three points compared to last month – reaching 14%, up from 11% in October. Among those who identify as “left” or “centre-left,” positive views exceed 30%, but drop to 8% among centrist voters.

A small increase – from 5% to 6% – is also recorded in positive views for a hypothetical “Samaras party,” which seems to have greater appeal among disaffected former ND voters (those who voted ND in 2023 but do not currently declare the same in voting intention).
