Greece’s ruling New Democracy (ND) party maintains a strong lead over its rivals, but a surge in undecided voters to a nine-year high reveals deep public disillusionment with the political system, according to a new poll.
The survey, conducted by Alco for Alpha TV and released earlier this week, shows ND leading with 23.3%. The socialist Pasok party follows at 11.7%, while the main opposition Syriza party continues to stagnate.
The poll's most striking finding is the sharp rise in undecided voters, who now account for 21.5% of the electorate — the highest level recorded by Alco since 2016 and up dramatically from 11.9% in January.
Alco president Kostas Panagopoulos called the data a sign of "a deep erosion of political trust." Most undecided respondents are women (60%) and identify as centrist or center-right, a demographic crucial to electoral outcomes.
This dissatisfaction is reflected in a widespread loss of confidence in public institutions.
An overwhelming 83% of respondents said they believe the country is facing a "crisis of institutions."
When asked who is to blame, 34% pointed to the government, while 31% said all political parties share responsibility.
Public satisfaction ratings were strikingly low: 81% expressed disapproval of Parliament, 78% were unhappy with the government’s performance, and 77% were not satisfied with the justice system.
Discontent with the opposition was even higher, at 87%.
