Greece’s ruling New Democracy party has surged past the 30% threshold in a new nationwide poll, signaling a significant rebound for the government following a series of high-profile energy agreements.
The MARC survey for Proto Thema places New Democracy at 31% in vote estimation—nearly three points higher than its performance in the 2024 European Parliament elections.
The center-left Pasok party remains a distant second at 14%, cementing a 17-point lead for the conservatives.
Analysts attribute the governing party's momentum to recent strategic wins, including energy pacts with the United States and progress on the electricity interconnection linking Greece, Cyprus, and Israel.
Meanwhile, the leftist Syriza party continues its slide, registering just 7.2% in the vote estimate, trailing behind the nationalist Greek Solution (9.7%) and the Course of Freedom party (10%).
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis remains the dominant political figure, with 31.2% of respondents naming him the most suitable leader. His closest rival, Pasok leader Nikos Androulakis, polled at just 7.8%.
The survey also highlighted voter appetite for political realignment.
Roughly 26% of respondents said a new party led by former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras could help unify the fractured center-left.
Conversely, while 19.6% expressed interest in a new movement by former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, the majority favored him staying out of the fray.
The findings come as parties reassess strategies ahead of a politically charged 2026, with Mr. Mitsotakis consolidating his advantage amid shifting regional alliances.
