Greece's ruling New Democracy (ND) party has expanded its lead in voter preference, securing 25% support in a nationwide Pulse survey conducted for Skai media.
This marks a slight gain from 24% in the previous poll conducted in November. Meanwhile, Pasok solidifies its position as the main opposition party at 14%, as Syriza, now relegated to fourth place, remains stagnant at 6.5%.
The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) showed slight growth, rising to 8% from 7.5%, taking third place in voter preference. Syriza, once a dominant force, continues to struggle to regain footing.
The poll, conducted from December 15–17 among 1,121 respondents, underscores the shifting political dynamics ahead of Greece’s next election cycle.
Undecided voters reflect a growing tilt toward ND and Pasok. ND’s projected share of this group rose to 30% from 28.3% in November, while Pasok climbed significantly, reaching 17% from 12.8%. Syriza’s appeal among undecided voters has sharply declined, dropping to 8% from 14.9%.
On the public reaction to Pasok reclaiming the role of main opposition, the survey found contrasting sentiments.
While 86% of Pasok supporters expressed satisfaction, 63% of ND voters reacted with indifference, indicating a tempered rivalry between the two.
Concerns over foreign policy remain a key issue for voters. About 41% of respondents expressed being “extremely concerned” over Greek-Turkish relations, with an additional 34% being “very concerned.” Similarly, developments in Syria and the broader Middle East are a source of unease, with 31% “extremely concerned” and 38% “very concerned.”
Looking ahead to 2025, a pervasive sense of pessimism prevails. Nearly half of those surveyed (49%) anticipate the upcoming year will be “a little or a lot worse” than 2024, while just 9% hold out hope for improvements.
The results point to a politically polarized electorate grappling with both domestic and international uncertainties as Greece navigates a critical juncture in its political and economic future.
