Greek Opinion Poll Gives Opposition Syriza Party Narrow Lead

Greece’s main opposition Syriza party would have a narrow lead over Prime Minister Antonis Samaras’s ruling New Democracy party if elections were held now, a Metron Analysis poll for tomorrow’s edition of Ependytis showed.

Syriza would get 27.7 percent of the votes compared with the 26.9 percent it got in Greece’s June 17 national election, according to the survey of 1,002 people, received by email from the Athens-based newspaper today. New Democracy would get 26.1 percent compared with 29.7 percent in the June vote, the poll showed.
