Greek Ruling Party Widens Lead as Syriza Plummets in New Poll

Greece’s ruling New Democracy party has significantly increased its lead in a new Real Polls survey, while the leftist Syriza party has fallen to a record low,

according to a recent poll.

The survey, conducted for Protagon, shows New Democracy climbing to 31.9%, up from 29.7% in the previous poll and 27% before that.

The increase signals growing momentum for the center-right party ahead of the next election cycle.

Analysts attribute New Democracy’s resurgence to its public relations efforts, particularly following a favorable judicial ruling regarding accusations of a cover-up in the deadly Tempi train disaster. Additionally, recent social benefits announced by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis have bolstered the party's standing.

In a notable development, the anti-establishment party Plefsi Eleftherias (Course of Freedom) secured second place with 18.9%, consolidating much of the “anti-system” vote. Pasok followed in third place at 12.9%, showing gains from April.

The Greek Communist Party (KKE) is measured at 7.3%, while the right-wing Elliniki Lysi (Greek Solution) stands at 7.1%.

Syriza, which led Greece during the bailout years, has plunged to just 5% in voting intention, marking a dramatic collapse for the party.

The survey predicts a six-party parliament, as neither the far-right Niki nor Afroditi Latinopoulou’s conservative Foni Logikis surpass the 3% electoral threshold.

This scenario could benefit New Democracy in its bid for a parliamentary majority.

Voter responses also indicated that leadership changes across parties could significantly alter the political landscape.
