SYRIZA leads in 3 public opinion polls, gap to ND 2.8%-4.9%

Main opposition party, left-wing SYRIZa leads in three public opinion polls published on Tuesday, one day before the first round of voting for Greece’s new President. However, the gap to PM Samaras’ Nea Dimokratia is not extraordinary big. The difference is between 2.8% to 4.9%. In all polls centre-left wing Democratic Left has no chances to enter the Parliament in elections, while nationalist Indepentent Greeks may risk not to pass the 3% threshold as well. What is interesting is that 6 to 10 respondents say that they want next President to be elected by the current Parliament.
