Greek Pollsters Forecast Narrow ‘No’ Win in Austerity Vote

Greek pollsters and early results suggest a win for the “no” side in Sunday’s referendum, endorsing Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s call to defy creditors over more austerity as the country veers toward an exit from the euro.

Four informal surveys published as voting finished estimated the lead for “no” at three or four percentage points. The first official projections of the result are due around 9 p.m. With more than 12 percent of ballots counted, the margin of victory looked wider with at least 60 percent of people opposing the demands of creditors.
