According to the poll, the Greek Communist Party (KKE) would garner 4.6 percent, the nationalist Greek Solution 3.9 percent and Mera25 of ex-finance minister Yanis Varoufakis 3 percent. 

Meanwhile, MRB data collected from December 13-14, after Nikos Androulakis’ election as new KINAL leader, give the conservatives a slightly stronger lead.
