Sources: 45. Developments: 4. Greece’s ruling New Democracy (ND) party maintains its lead in political intention polling. Recent data from Interview for the newspaper Political shows the party at 26.3%, with the Greek Left Coalition (ELAS) at 13.7% and PASOK at 11.9%. Projected election results for these parties are estimated at 29.1%, 15.5%, and 13.2%, respectively. A subsequent GPO poll conducted for STAR indicates a slight shift in voting intention, with New Democracy at 25.8%—a 0.8% increase from June—followed by ELAS at 13.5% and PASOK at 10.8%. Under these projections, New Democracy’s estimated vote share rises to 30.6%, while ELAS is estimated at 16% and PASOK at 12.8%. Following political announcements at the Thessaloniki International Fair (DETh), updated GPO data confirms ND’s leading position with a 30.6% estimated vote share. Regarding the perceived realism of political programs, 44.6% of respondents consider Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s program to be costed and realistic, compared to 20.4% for Alexis Tsipras’s plan and 24.9% for PASOK’s program. On leadership persuasion, Mitsotakis leads at 25.9%, followed by Tsipras at 15.5% and Nikos Androulakis at 10.6%, though 45.9% of respondents stated that ‘none of the three’ leaders were particularly persuasive. The landscape appears increasingly fragmented, with parties such as Hellenic Solution (9%) and KKE (8.8%) also competing for significant positions. ## Claims - New polling data shows New Democracy (ND) at 30.6% in voter estimation.
