New Democracy Gains Ground as Public Discontent Grows, Poll Shows

08:18 23/5/2025 - Πηγή: iEfimerida

Greece’s ruling New Democracy party has regained political momentum with 30.2% in voter preference, according to a new poll by Metron Analysis for Mega TV, marking a near 3-point rebound from the turbulence that followed last year’s deadly train crash in Tempi.

The poll, released in

mid-May 2025, shows New Democracy solidifying its lead over a fragmented opposition, while Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis remains the frontrunner for the premiership with 27% support — despite 67% of respondents rating him negatively.

Zoi Konstantopoulou’s Freedom Sailing party trails at 14.2%, slightly ahead of Pasok at 14%, which has gained 1.5 points.

The Communist Party (KKE) stands at 8.7%, followed by Greek Solution at 8.6%. Syriza continues its slide, polling at just 6.1%, underscoring a deep crisis within the once-dominant leftist party.

Two newer parties — Victory (3.1%) and the Democracy Movement (3%) — hover just above the parliamentary threshold.

In terms of raw voting intention, New Democracy leads with 22.6%, followed by Ms. Konstantopoulou’s Freedom Sailing at 10.6% and Pasok at 10.5%. KKE and Greek Solution are tied at 6.5%, while Syriza drops to 4.6%.

While Mr. Mitsotakis retains a lead as the most suitable prime minister, Ms. Konstantopoulou follows distantly with 10%, and Pasok leader Nikos Androulakis scores just 5%.

A striking 39% of respondents say "no one" is suitable, underscoring a widespread lack of confidence in political leadership.

Despite the numerical gains, Mr. Mitsotakis faces strong headwinds.

Nearly 7 in 10 voters (69%) judge the government negatively, and a similar share believe the country is heading in the “wrong direction.” Public frustration remains high over the cost of living, with 30% citing inflation as their top concern, followed by the economy (26%), institutional trust (9%), demographic decline, and security.

While Ms. Konstantopoulou ranks highest in personal popularity with 44%, her support has dipped since the last survey.

Dimitris Koutsoumbas follows with 40%, and Mr. Mitsotakis stands at 33%.

Pasok, despite its slight rise in support, faces a dire credibility gap: 81% of respondents see the party as an ineffective opposition, and 78% disapprove of how Mr. Androulakis performs as opposition leader.
