PM Mitsotakis is seen as the most suitable for PM

Ruling New Democracy leads the main opposition party of SYRIZA by 11.8 percentage points, according to the latest poll by Metron Analysis for Mega channel.

Meanwhile, PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis maintains a large 23-point lead over Alexis Tsipras, based on the answers by the respondents about the two political leaders. There is also a large gap between them in terms of who is the most suitable for prime minister, with Mitsotakis leading by 20 points – 36% to 16%.

A notable finding is that the Movement for Change (KINAL), under its new leadership, appears to be increasing its percentages even in relation to the measurements that were made in mid-December, immediately after the election of Nikos Androulakis. It is recorded with 15% in the intention to vote and with 18.5% in the voting estimate, while Nikos Androulakis himself appears with 8% in the question about the most suitable for the position of prime minister.

In the intention to vote, ND is clearly first with 29.1%, showing an increase of 1.6 percentage points, while SYRIZA is also up, with 19.6% from 18.1% in December. The Movement for Change also shows a marginal increase of 0.4 points.

Regarding the other parties, the Communist party (KKE) appears stable (5.4% in the measurement from 5.3% in the 2019 elections) with the Greek Solution of Kyriakos Velopoulos showing an increase, reaching 5% from 3.7% from the national ballot box of 2019. An increase is also evident by the Varoufakis party, which was recorded at 4.1% from 3.4% in 2019.

The public’s fatigue from the pandemic is clear, as 81% say its effects are “very or quite significant” in their personal lives, with only one in five saying “little or nothing”.

56% are negative about the way the government managed the pandemic with one in three saying they have a positive view.
