Alexis Tsipras’s lead over Greek opposition parties narrowed ahead of an early election next month, a poll showed Friday, as a vote-weary public has soured over unkept promises to end an age of austerity.
The Syriza party, led by Tsipras, would get 23 percent of the vote if elections were held now, according to a ProRata survey published in Efimerida ton Syntakton newspaper, down from 26 percent in a survey by the same pollster on July 2. The main opposition New Democracy party would get 19.5 percent, up from 15 percent in July’s poll.
