A new Prorata opinion poll, published Monday, July 6, in Efimerida ton Syntaktown, shows New Democracy (ND) maintaining a single-digit lead over the Greek Left Coalition (ELAS), the party led by Alexis Tsipras. According to the survey, ND commands 25% support among voters who intend to cast a ballot—excluding abstentions—while ELAS stands at 15.5%, a gap of 9.5 percentage points. In the previous Prorata poll conducted in June, those figures were 24% and 14.5%, respectively.
Other Parties’ Standing
In third place are PASOK and Hope for Democracy, jointly polling at 8.5%. Notably, Maria Karyesi’s Hope for Democracy saw its support dip from 9.5% in June. Greek Solution follows with 7%, the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) at 5.5%, Voice of Reason at 4%, Freedom Sail at 3.5%, MeRA25 at 3%, New Left at 1%, Democrats at 1%, and Victory at 0.5%. Another 3% say they’ll vote for smaller parties not listed, while 12% remain undecided.
