A clear lead for New Democracy at 30.6% is recorded in RealPolls’ projected election result for Protagon, with PASOK following at 15.3% and Course of Freedom in third place with 10.7%, according to the survey data.

Next come Hellenic Solution with 7% and KKE with 6.3%. SYRIZA appears at 5.1%, lower than other opposition parties, while MeRA25 gathers 5.4%. Smaller political formations record lower percentages: Voice of Reason at 3.7%, Democrats at 1.9%, Niki at 0.8%, New Left at 0.6%, and Spartans at 0.1%.

Notably, the “other party” category reaches 12.5%, indicating voter fluidity and room for smaller or newly emerging political groups to grow.

In voting intention, New Democracy shows losses due to the OPEKEPE case and stands at 24.6%. PASOK is second with 10.4%. They are followed by Course of Freedom (6.1%), Hellenic Solution (5.8%), and KKE (5.4%). SYRIZA records 3.8%, while MeRA25 reaches 3.4%. Voice of Reason stands at 2.7%, Democrats at 1.5%, Niki at 0.8%, New Left at 0.6%, and Spartans at 0.1%.

Undecided voters remain high at 18%, while 2.7% say they don’t know or won’t answer. About 1% say they won’t vote, and 0.7% say they will cast a blank ballot.

Tsipras and Karystianou parties

In contrast to the declining trend of previous months, the party of Alexis Tsipras shows an upward movement in April. When asked how likely they are to vote for it, 12.3% say “very likely” (up from 9.6% in March), 7.4% “quite likely” (from 5.8%), for a total positive rate of 19.7% (from 15.4%).

“Not at all likely” drops to 67% (from 69.6%). Still, two out of three Greeks say they would under no circumstances vote for a party led by the former prime minister.

In a similar question about the party of Maria Karystianou, 21.1% say it is “very/quite likely” they would vote for it.

Early elections, OPEKEPE, and voting criteria

On whether early elections would help the country, public opinion is divided. 51.1% respond positively (33.3% “definitely yes,” 17.8% “probably yes”), while 43.1% respond negatively (21.8% “probably not,” 21.3% “definitely not”).

The main voting criterion for the next elections is the economy and daily life (35.5%), focusing on inflation, wages, and taxation. Transparency and corruption follow with 33.9%.

Regarding the OPEKEPE case and the stance of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, only 23.7% agree with the view that “the European Public Prosecutor is playing political games” (11.6% “agree,” 12.1% “probably agree”), while 66.6% disagree, with 57.9% choosing the strong response “disagree.”

On the issue of clientelism, 9.4% say they have personally used it, while 29.2% report that someone in their environment has. Overall, 38.6% report direct experience with the practice, while 59.1% respond negatively.
