Greece's governing New Democracy party keeps a 10-point lead over its closest rival in a new poll. But nearly half of Greeks blame the government for the rising cost of living, months before elections due in 2027.

The Alco survey for Alpha TV puts Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' conservatives at 23.4% in voting intention.

That is down from 24.3% in Alco's September poll. The Greek Left Coalition, the new party of former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, is second at 13.4%. The socialist PASOK party is third at 11.4%.

They are followed by the Communist Party at 7.1% and the nationalist Greek Solution at 5.8%. Three other parties, including Course of Freedom, are just above the 3% threshold needed to enter parliament.

Tsipras' former party, Syriza, has fallen to 1.8%. Nearly 16% of voters are undecided.

On prices, 45% blame the government and its policies, while 29% blame the global energy crisis.

Fifteen percent point to profiteering by some businesses, and 9% to too few market inspections.

More than half of those polled, 55%, said they are very or fairly likely to cut back on basic goods this winter.

Mr. Mitsotakis is seeking a third term and has ruled out early elections.
