New Democracy is on its biggest rise since the European elections, recording a 2.5-point increase and changing the “track” in the domestic political scene against the backdrop of the Middle East flare-up.

The ruling party “sees” improvement in all qualitative indicators and Kyriakos Mitsotakis upgrades his already strong mark in his suitability to be prime minister, while at the same time New Democracy significantly increases its vote rating and the gap from the second party, as PASOK follows at a distance of 19.5 points. This is a polling development that shows the ability of the ruling party to attract wider audiences, moving the needle well above the “psychological threshold” of 30%. The message from citizens is that in a period with the “fire” of war around them they prefer an environment of political stability, but this does not mean that they cease to worry about precision and the shrinking of their income potential and prospects. The sum of the findings in the Opinion Poll completed on day 6 of the war and presented yesterday on Action 24’s main news bulletin points to interesting conclusions about the mobility on the political map and the priorities that people highlight in response to questions related to the situation.

New Democracy is investing in developing quick and decisive steps since the start of the Iran conflict, sending security assistance to Cyprus with the prime minister in constant contact with other top leaders in Europe and the Middle East. Early signs in the polls show positive performance for ND, while PASOK, despite a good institutional image after Nikos Androulakis’ meeting on national strategy issues with the Prime Minister, continues to observe the “unheeding needle”. The ruling party gains 2.5 points compared to January and 31.4% (up from 29%) choose Kyriakos Mitsotakis for prime minister. PASOK had 13.4% in January and in this poll by the same polling firm it reads 13.2%, while Nikos Androulakis comes fourth in suitability for prime minister with 5.8% from 6.1%. SYRIZA gains half a point, but continues its low single-digit polling flights, registering 4.7%; a small drop is registered by Plysi Eleftherias, Hellenic Solution and KKE, a small rise by Voice of Reason, while the nascent Tsipras and Karystianos parties register a downward trend.

Specifically, the prevailing concern among the electorate about possible side effects of the war in our country as well is evident and reaches 85.4%, leading voters to call for “stability” at a rate of 73.1%, with 55.1% saying that in the next elections they will vote more for political stability and only 34.1% to express protest. This has resulted in a poll surge for ND: The ruling party is up 2.5 points compared to January and 56.6% see a third term for the prime minister and ND as very or fairly likely, while the victory performance is also at 61.1% for New Democracy, with PASOK at 3.3%.

In the suitability for prime minister, Zoe Konstantopoulou comes in second once again, but with a drop of more than 2 points. Her party also recorded a 0.8 point drop – from 10.4% to 9.6%, very close to Hellenic Solution, which falls from 10.1% to 9.2%. This poll puts out a seven-party parliament, with the MP25 narrowly (2.9%) losing the ticket. Low flights (1.9%) for Niki, Spartans (1.5%), Kasselakis Party (1.7%) and New Left (1%). Of the opposition parties, only SYRIZA and Voice of Logic register gains of 0.5 of a point and 0.7 of a point respectively. In the question about the Karystianos party, the “very likely to vote for her” drops from 16.1% to 9.2% – and Alexis Tsipras’ share drops from 9% in December to 7%.

New Democracy is up 1.6 percentage points in the ALCO poll, which was also presented yesterday on Alpha’s main newscast. The ruling party rises to 25.1% in the vote intention, maintaining a 14.3-point gap from PASOK, which moves to 10.8%, increasing its share by 0.3%. Apart from ND, PASOK, KKE and SYRIZA are on the rise, while Hellenic Solution and Pleisi are on the decline. At the same time, the percentage of undecided voters increased to 18.9% from 18.4%, while the percentage of those who intend to vote for a new party is decreasing. The answer “very likely to vote” dropped from 18% in January to 10% today. For the Carlist party, in January 26% said they had positive feelings – today these are down to 22%. Similarly, for the Tsipras party, positive feelings fell from 17% to 16%. However, one in two say there is no party that expresses them “to a significant degree”, while 67% say that the accuracy of the market has not been reduced.
