Poll shows PASOK declining, Karystianou gaining popularity in the centre-left

According to a survey conducted by Metron Analysis for MEGA TV, two out of three citizens believe the country is moving in the wrong direction, while both the government’s performance and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis receive negative evaluations.

Despite this discontent, the poll records electoral gains for the ruling New Democracy party, even as the main opposition party, PASOK, suffers notable losses. Analysts say this trend reflects the continued fragmentation of the opposition and may indicate voters’ preference either for cooperation between parties or for the emergence of new political movements, even as they disapprove of government policies.

Within this context, the survey measured potential support for hypothetical parties led by former prime ministers Alexis Tsipras and Antonis Samaras, as well as by Maria Karystianou. For Tsipras, 10% of respondents said it was “very likely” they would vote for such a party, with an additional 9% saying it was “fairly likely.” Support for a Samaras-led party was significantly lower, at 4% and 7% respectively.

By contrast, support for a party led by Karystianou was considerably higher, with 16% saying they would be “very likely” to back it and 17% describing such a choice as “fairly likely.”

Karystianou also enjoys relatively high personal approval ratings, with 50% of respondents expressing a positive view and 42% a negative one. The poll further shows that both Karystianou and Zoe Konstantopoulou score strongest among voters in the centre-left of the political spectrum.

Finally, the survey indicates strong scepticism toward U.S. President Donald Trump, with 75% of Greek respondents expressing a negative opinion. More than half of those polled (51%) believe that the United States and the European Union are likely to follow divergent paths in the near future.
