Greece’s ruling New Democracy party has extended its lead over its rivals, while internal support for Pasok is rising, and skepticism remains high about the political comeback of former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, according to a new nationwide poll by MRB.

The

second part of the MRB poll, released Saturday, shows New Democracy consolidating 77.5% of its voter base, with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis widely seen as the most suitable figure to lead the country.

In voting intentions, New Democracy holds a 10.8-point lead over the second-placed left-wing party Plefsi Eleftherias (Course of Freedom), rising to 22.7%, up 2.3 points. Plefsi drops 1.6 points to 11.9%, while Pasok registers a modest increase, reaching 10.1%.

Among New Democracy voters, 4.3% are defecting to Plefsi, 3.9% to the far-right Greek Solution party, and 3.8% to Pasok. Another 4.7% are undecided, while 3.7% indicate support for other parties.

Pasok’s voter retention also increased sharply, climbing to 75.7% from 66%.

However, the center-left party is losing voters to multiple directions: 7.1% to New Democracy, 5.3% to Greek Solution, 3.3% to Plefsi, and 7.2% remain undecided.

On the question of who is most suitable to serve as prime minister, 31.9% favor Mr. Mitsotakis, while 29.1% back Plefsi leader Zoe Konstantopoulou.

A significant 39% chose “none.”

In a matchup between Mr. Mitsotakis and Pasok leader Nikos Androulakis, 32.2% prefer Mr. Mitsotakis, 22.3% support Mr. Androulakis, and 45.5% say “none.”

Among New Democracy voters, 70.9% view Mr. Mitsotakis as the most capable prime minister, while 11.7% say “none.” Among Pasok voters, 40.2% favor Mr. Androulakis, but a combined 34.4% either prefer another candidate or say “none.”

In Syriza, disarray is evident.

The party’s interim president, Sokratis Famellos, ranks third in perceived suitability for prime minister among Syriza supporters.

“None” leads with 33.8%, followed by Ms. Konstantopoulou with 21.7%.

As speculation continues over a political return for Mr. Tsipras, 65.8% of respondents say they would probably or definitely not vote for a new party led by him.

Only 29.1% express willingness to support such a party. Among self-identified center-left and left-wing voters, 52.9% rule out backing a Tsipras-led movement, while 43.7% say they probably or definitely would.
