The polling momentum that Alexis Tsipras was seeking to establish ELAS as the main governmental alternative force against Kyriakos Mitsotakis is being provided by all the polls that have been published, showing him in second place. Beyond the first two measurements that showed him second in voter preference, the next two polls published in the last twenty-four hours confirm this trend.
Yesterday’s Pulse poll showed that the Hellenic Left Alliance, one week after Alexis Tsipras announced its name, appears to have secured second place and is actually the second party in every poll. PASOK, with 11.5%, appears in this measurement to marginally surpass Maria Karystianou, who gathers 11%, in a sample of 1,108 adults who participated in the poll. If these were the election results, Parliament would have 9 parties: the Communist Party stands at 7%, Greek Solution at 6.5%, Course of Freedom at 5%, Voice of Reason at 3.5%, and MeRA25 at 3%.
Regarding suitability for prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis appears first with 30% and Alexis Tsipras second with a 13-point difference. Nikos Androulakis has recorded a decline to 7 points and is just 1 point above Maria Karystianou. In the Opinion Poll for Action 24, Alexis Tsipras’s Hellenic Left Alliance takes second place with 15.5%, and third is Maria Karystianou’s Hope for Democracy with 12.6%, while PASOK faces pressure and retreats to fourth place with 10.5%. Of particular interest is that in prime ministerial suitability, Kyriakos Mitsotakis remains first with 29%, while former prime minister Alexis Tsipras appears second with 13.2%.
Alexis Tsipras’s associates are particularly studying the detailed data, especially those concerning the voter pools they draw from. It’s characteristic that in the Opinion Poll, voters going to ELAS come 61.3% from SYRIZA, 11.4% from Course of Freedom, 10.9% from Greek Solution, and 7.1% from PASOK. These same people are also studying which categories of citizens they receive votes from, as they want to strengthen their narrative.
