Greeks unlikely to back new parties from Tsipras or Samaras
The survey, carried out between September 16 and 21 with a sample of 1,000 respondents, reveals that 66% of Greeks say they would “definitely not” vote for a potential new party led by Tsipras. An additional 11% said it was “relatively unlikely,” while only 12% said it was “relatively likely,” and just 8% declared they would “definitely” support it.
Public openness to a party led by Samaras is even more limited: 74% of respondents said they would definitely not support such a party, 11% said it was unlikely, 10% somewhat likely, and only 3% expressed definite support.
New Democracy Holds Strong Lead
The poll also reinforces the continued dominance of the ruling New Democracy (ND) party, which leads voting intention with 23.5%. Center-left opposition PASOK trails significantly at 11.5%, while far-right Greek Solution has climbed to 10%, overtaking Course of Freedom, which has dipped to 8%.
Other parties remain relatively stable: the Communist Party (KKE) holds at 8%, SYRIZA—once led by Tsipras—is at 7%, and the far-left MeRA25 has edged past the parliamentary threshold with 3.5%. The nationalist Voice of Reason continues to gain traction, polling at 4%. Meanwhile, undecided voters make up a significant 13% of the electorate.
Mitsotakis still viewed as most suitable PM
When asked who is most suitable to serve as prime minister, 27% of respondents chose current ND leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis, followed by PASOK’s Nikos Androulakis at 8%. However, a striking 34% of respondents said “no one” is suitable—highlighting a broader sentiment of political disillusionment.
The poll results suggest that while Greece's political landscape remains fragmented, public appetite for new parties—especially those led by past leaders—is limited, and voter indecision remains a key factor ahead of any future electoral shifts.
