Ruling New Democracy maintains an 11.6 percentage point lead over main opposition SYRIZA in an Opinion Poll survey conducted between 7-12 February for tomanifesto.gr.

The poll shows that centre-left KINAL is on the rise and if that trend continues, some analysts believe it could have a fighting chance of beating SYRIZA for second place

Ruling New Democracy retains a double-digit lead over main opposition SYRIZA according to a Pulse poll presented on SKAI television's evening newscast.

A Metron Analysis poll published in the 3 October edition of To Vima, which was conducted in the aftermath of multiple crises over the last two months, shows the greatest yet drop for the government in all qualitative data of the survey.

Α two-minute ad by the KKE Greek Communist Party charges that public health guidelines to protect citizens from transmission of the coronavirus are not being adhered to in many workplaces despite the restrictions that are being enforced in public places.

The government of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has received the constitutionally mandated confidence vote in Parliament with 158 yeas versus 142 nays.

The government's programme was approved by all 158 New Democracy MPs in the Parliament that was elected on 7 July.

Veteran New Democracy MP (representing the district of Ioannina) Konstantinos Tasoulas has been elected Parliament Speaker with an unprecedented 283 votes in the 300-seat legislature.

Tasoulas was supported by five of the legislature's six parties (New Democracy, SYRIZA, Movement for Change, Elliniki Lysi, and MeRa 25).

New Democracy leads SYRIZA by between 7.8 and 8.2 percentage points - about one percentage point less than in the 26 May European Parliament election - in a new poll conducted by the Pulse polling company and presented tonight on SKAI television's evening newscast.

An inter-party committee that convenes at the Interior Ministry has decided that the sole parliamentary elections debate will be held on 1 July between PM and SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras, main opposition New Democracy leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Movement for Change leader Fofi Gennimata, KKE Greek Communist Party leader Dimitris Koutsoumbas, and Centrists' Union leader Vasilis Leventis.

Even as SYRIZA confronted a New Democracy landslide in 2 June local election run-offs, a poll on voter intention in the 7 July general election had the ruling party trailing ND by nine percentage points, nearly the identical spread between the two top parties as in the 26 May European Parliament election.
