ATHENS (Reuters) – Greece’s
leftist Syriza party has pulled 5 points clear of conservative New
Democracy as general elections draw near, according to a poll on Friday
that gave the clearest lead to either of the two main rivals in 18
surveys.
The parties have been neck-and-neck in the run-up to the
Sept. 20 election, with all other polls published this month showing a
gap of 1 percentage point or less.
But Friday’s ProRata poll in left-leaning daily newspaper
Efimerida ton Syndakton put Syriza, led by former prime minister Alexis
Tsipras, on 28.5 percent and Vangelis Meimarakis’ New Democracy on 23.5
percent.
Other pollsters caution that it is too early to draw
conclusions from the data, obtained Sept. 7-9, and that likely patterns
will emerge closer to the election, notably because of a large
contingent of undecided voters.
