The pro-Nazi party Golden Dawn is now the third political force in Greece with 10.5% approval. This is shown by the latest opinion poll by Pulse agency, published in the newspaper "Pondiki". New Democracy is still the leading party with 25 per cent approval, but right behind it, with just 1 percentage point difference, is the radical left party SYRIZA. The results in more details:
New Democracy 25%
SYRIZA 24%
Golden Dawn 10.5%
PASOK 8%
Independent Greeks 6.5%
Communist Party 4.5%
Democratic Left 4%
The results make it clear that the rates of the three parties which support the government of Antonis Samaras are dropping. New Democracy won 29.7 per cent in the elections, i.e. it has lost almost 5 per cent support. PASOK won 12.3 per cent of the votes and is currently losing 4.3 per cent support.
