New Democracy Leads Despite Decline in Latest Greek Poll, Public Concerns Mount

A new nationwide poll conducted by Metron Analysis for MEGA reveals growing dissatisfaction with the Greek government, though the ruling New Democracy (ND) party remains in the lead.

The survey, reflecting the views of Greek citizens, highlights widespread discontent with the government’s performance and raises concerns about the potential economic impact of U.S. tariffs.

Government Faces Public Backlash
The poll shows that 69% of respondents hold a negative view of the government’s work, signaling significant public frustration. Similarly, 68% disapprove of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ leadership. Notably, only ND voters expressed a positive opinion of his performance, underscoring a polarized public sentiment.

“Nobody” Outshines Political Leaders
In a striking finding, 36% of Greeks selected “nobody” as the most suitable candidate for prime minister, reflecting disillusionment with the current political landscape. Among named figures, Mitsotakis leads with 26%, followed by Zoe Konstantopoulou of Course of Freedom at 11%, indicating a fragmented field of contenders.

Economic Fears Over U.S. Tariffs
The survey also captures widespread anxiety about the potential consequences of U.S.-imposed tariffs on the Greek economy. A majority of respondents believe these tariffs will have a significant or very significant impact, with only 4% dismissing concerns entirely. PASOK voters are particularly pessimistic, with 74% anticipating major repercussions. In contrast, supporters of the Greek Solution party are more optimistic, with many believing the tariffs will have minimal or no effect.

As Greece navigates these challenges, the poll underscores a critical moment for the government to address public discontent and economic uncertainties, particularly as international pressures loom large.
