Greek Coalition Parties and Opposition Lose Support, Poll Shows

Greece’s New Democracy party led by Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has declined in popularity since the June 17 election, a poll for To Pontiki newspaper showed.

Of those surveyed by Pulse RC, 22.5 percent said they’d vote for New Democracy, the largest party in parliament, compared with 29.7 percent of votes the party won in the last election, according to the poll. That level of support would not be enough to secure a parliamentary majority.
