New Democracy leads Greek poll with 29.4% as cost-of-living concerns persist
Greece's ruling New Democracy leads the latest Interview poll with 29.4% in the estimated election result, ahead of the Greek Left Coalition (ELAS) and PASOK. Rising prices remain voters' biggest concern, while confidence in the tax authority and other public institutions remains low.
Greece's ruling New Democracy (ND) remains in first place with 29.4% in the estimated election result, according to a new opinion poll conducted by Interview and published on November 10, 2026.
The governing party holds a 13.7-percentage-point lead over the Greek Left Coalition (ELAS), which ranks second with 15.7%. PASOK follows in third place with 14.5%, according to the survey.
Greek Solution ranks fourth with 7.3%, followed by the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) with 5.4%, Hope for Democracy with 4.6%, Voice of Reason with 3.8%, Alliance of Greeks with 3.6%, MeRA25 with 3.5% and Course of Freedom with 3.3%.
Several parties remain below the 3% parliamentary threshold, including SYRIZA with 2.2%, Democrats with 2%, New Left with 0.8% and NIKI with 0.7%.
NEW DEMOCRACY ALSO LEADS IN VOTING INTENTION
New Democracy maintains a double-digit lead in the direct voting-intention figures as well.
The poll records the following results:
- New Democracy: 26.3%
- Greek Left Coalition (ELAS): 14.1%
- PASOK: 13%
- Greek Solution: 6.5%
- KKE: 4.8%
- Hope for Democracy: 4.1%
- Voice of Reason: 3.4%
- Alliance of Greeks: 3.2%
- MeRA25: 3.1%
- Course of Freedom: 3%
- SYRIZA: 2%
- Democrats: 1.8%
- New Left: 0.7%
- NIKI: 0.6%
- Other parties: 3%
- Undecided voters: 10.4%
TEN-PARTY PARLIAMENT PROJECTED
Based on the estimated election results, the survey also projects a parliament consisting of ten political parties.
New Democracy is projected to secure 116 seats, followed by ELAS with 47 and PASOK with 43.
The projected distribution of the remaining seats is as follows: Greek Solution with 22, KKE with 16, Hope for Democracy with 14, Voice of Reason with 11, Alliance of Greeks with 11, Course of Freedom with 10 and MeRA25 with 10.
The projections would leave New Democracy short of an outright parliamentary majority.
COST OF LIVING REMAINS VOTERS' BIGGEST CONCERN
Rising prices continue to dominate public concerns, with 55% of respondents identifying the cost of living as the issue the government should prioritise in the coming period.
Increasing household incomes ranks second at 16%, followed by tackling corruption at 14%. Improving public healthcare and education is cited by 6%, addressing non-performing loans by 4%, and public safety and citizen protection by another 4%. Other issues account for 1%.
When asked which measure would have the greatest positive impact on their household finances, 41% chose lower prices for essential goods and energy.
Meanwhile, 31% favoured increases in wages and pensions, while 21% supported reductions in taxes and social security contributions.
Debt restructuring involving banks, funds and the state was selected by 3%, while 2% favoured assistance with rent or mortgage payments. Another 2% identified other measures.
LOW CONFIDENCE IN TAX AUTHORITY AND PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS
The survey also points to widespread distrust in key Greek institutions, particularly in the aftermath of revelations concerning alleged tax evasion networks.
The European Public Prosecutor's Office receives the highest confidence rating, with 67% saying they trust it either a lot or fairly much in tackling corruption. By contrast, 31% express little or no confidence.
Confidence in the Greek judicial system is considerably lower: 29% report high or fairly high trust, while 71% say they have little or no confidence.
For the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE), the corresponding figures are 33% and 66%.
The figures are even more striking for the Hellenic Parliament and its investigative committees, with only 11% expressing high or fairly high confidence, compared with 88% who report little or no trust.
Asked who they considered more credible in the public debate on corruption between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, 33% chose Mitsotakis, 26% selected Tsipras and 40% said neither. Only 1% considered both equally credible.
MITSOTAKIS LEADS IN PREFERENCE FOR PRIME MINISTER
Respondents were also asked to choose between a third term as prime minister for Kyriakos Mitsotakis and a second term for Alexis Tsipras.
Mitsotakis received 35% support, compared with 25% for Tsipras. However, 36% said they would prefer someone else as prime minister, while 4% were undecided or declined to answer.
In a separate question about which political leader respondents trusted most to govern the country, Mitsotakis ranked first with 31.3%.
He was followed by respondents who trusted neither candidate (18.6%), Tsipras (13.8%) and PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis (10.7%).
Other figures included Kyriakos Velopoulos with 5.1%, Yanis Varoufakis with 4%, Dimitris Koutsoumbas with 3.6%, Zoe Konstantopoulou with 3.2%, Maria Karystianou with 3.1%, Afroditi Latinopoulou with 2.2%, Stefanos Kasselakis with 1.8%, Rena Dourou with 1.5%, Gavriil Sakellaridis with 0.7% and Dimitris Natsios with 0.4%.
VOTERS DIVIDED OVER POSSIBLE COALITION GOVERNMENTS
The survey also examined public preferences if no party secures an outright majority in the next parliamentary elections.
The largest share, 33%, favours a coalition between centre-left and left-wing parties, including ELAS and PASOK.
Another 30% would prefer fresh elections until a party secures an outright majority, while 18% support the formation of a broad-based unity government.
A coalition between New Democracy and PASOK is favoured by 11%, while only 5% support cooperation between New Democracy and parties further to its right. The remaining 3% expressed no opinion.
The findings highlight the continued dominance of the cost-of-living issue in Greek public opinion, alongside persistent concerns about corruption, institutional credibility and the country's future political direction.
