SYRIZA drops to fifth place, new poll shows
A recent MRB poll shows main opposition SYRIZA dropping to fifth place ahead of the upcoming leadership election at PASOK, which is firmly in second place.
This is the second survey showing SYRIZA in fifth place, following a poll released on Monday.
Regarding the PASOK leadership contest, the poll shows a tight race between the incumbent Nikos Androulakis, leading with 27.3% of likely voters, closely followed by Athens Mayor Haris Doukas, with 25.7%.
Other candidates include Pavlos Yeroulanos (17.9%) and Anna Diamantopoulou (16.9%). With 23% of respondents still undecided, the MRB poll shows the election is still open and competitive.
Meanwhile, garnering only 7.5% of the vote, the once-mighty SYRIZA appears to be experiencing a notable decline as it also heads to a leadership election.
The ruling New Democracy party leads with 21.9%, followed by PASOK at 12.2%. In third and fourth place are the nationalist Hellenic Solution at 8.3% and communist KKE at 7.7%.
