A new GPO opinion poll published Monday, July 13, 2026, on iefimerida.gr shows New Democracy (ND) maintaining a stable double-digit lead over the Greek Left Coalition (ELAS), led by Alexis Tsipras. PASOK–KINAL holds firmly in third place, while the party of Maria Karystianou has suffered a sharp decline—falling to sixth position.
Vote Intention vs. Vote Estimation
In terms of vote intention, ND stands at 25.7%, ELAS at 14.5%, PASOK–KINAL at 9.5%, Greek Solution and KKE jointly at 8%, Hope for Democracy at 6.1%, Freedom Sail at 4%, Voice of Reason at 2.8%, Victory and MeRA25 at 1.5% each, SYRIZA at 1.4%, and other parties at 4.6%.
In the more refined vote estimation—which accounts for turnout likelihood and voting certainty—ND rises to 29.3%, ELAS to 16.6%, PASOK–KINAL to 10.8%, Greek Solution and KKE to 9.1% combined, Hope for Democracy to 7%, Freedom Sail to 4.6%, Voice of Reason to 3.2%, Victory and MeRA25 to 1.7% each, SYRIZA to 1.6%, and other parties to 5.3%.
Public Sentiment and Political Trust
Greek public opinion is marked by widespread dissatisfaction: 68.6% express negative views of the government’s handling of affairs, while 79.6% rate PASOK’s performance as inadequate—highlighting a broader failure of the official opposition to capitalize on governmental weaknesses.
Price stability (68.5%) and institutional/social issues (49.9% and 41.8%, respectively) are the top concerns shaping voting decisions. Confidence in political parties remains low across the board.
No Clear Verdict on Recent Governance
A central finding is that citizens do not deliver a clear endorsement or rejection of either of the two most recent governing periods. Just 41.5% say their personal and family situation has remained unchanged over the past seven years; 28.9% view it as improved under ND’s governance, while 26.7% believe it was better during SYRIZA’s term. This points less to decisive judgment and more to a prevailing sense of stagnation—a backdrop against which current political assessments are formed.
Even if many Greeks don’t see SYRIZA’s era as superior, that alone doesn’t translate into strong support for the current administration. The government faces stricter scrutiny—not just relative to the past, but against present expectations.
Negative evaluations of the government cut across nearly all age groups, with particular intensity among working-age citizens—those most directly affected by employment, family responsibilities, and financial pressure. This suggests the erosion of trust is neither localized nor niche, but deeply embedded in core demographic segments.
Opposition Fails to Gain Ground
A second key finding is that the government’s declining credibility has not automatically boosted the main opposition party. Only 5.1% rate PASOK’s work positively—and even including those who hold a ‘somewhat positive’ view, the total remains under 20%. The data underscore a structural challenge: public frustration isn’t being channeled into renewed confidence in traditional alternatives.
