Poll shows rise for New Democracy and Course of Freedom
The latest opinion poll by Alco, conducted for Alpha TV, shows a rise in support for ruling New Democracy, while the anti-establishment Course of Freedom continues to solidify its position in second place.
At the same time, the findings reveal widespread dissatisfaction with the government’s performance and deep public disillusionment.
New Democracy leads voting intentions with 24.7%, an increase from 23.3% in March. Course of Freedom follows with 11.6%, gaining 1.3 percentage points.
Socialist PASOK is in third place with 10.4%, having lost ground. Right-wing Greek Solution comes next at 8.4%, followed by the Communist Party (KKE) with 7.1%, and leftist SYRIZA, in sixth place, at just 6.7%.
Fundamentalist Niki is just clear of the parliamentary threshold at 3.1%, while SYRIZA splinter New Left trails at 1.1%.
The government’s recently announced support measures for renters and pensioners have received mixed reactions. Only 23% of respondents view them as “very” or “quite positive,” while 31% see them as “a little positive” and 32% consider them “not at all positive.”
Public sentiment appears overwhelmingly negative, with 82% of respondents reporting emotions such as disappointment, anger or insecurity regarding the current situation. Only 16% say they feel hope, optimism or confidence.
Satisfaction with the government is notably low. A majority of 53% say they are not at all satisfied with the government’s overall performance, and 55% express the same sentiment regarding Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. In contrast, only 21% and 23%, respectively, report being very or fairly satisfied.
The survey also shows that 46% of voters view the next parliamentary elections as an opportunity for a protest vote, while 43% do not. The tendency toward protest voting is particularly notable among opposition party supporters, pointing to a potentially volatile electoral landscape ahead.
