Greece's New Democracy and Tsipras's ELAS strengthen in GPO poll, as Karystianou's party loses ground
A GPO poll for Parapolitika shows New Democracy at 29.4% in the vote estimate, up 0.8 points, while Alexis Tsipras's ELAS rises to 16.3%. Maria Karystianou's Elpida party falls 2.7 points to 7.8%.
Election scene reshaped
A new GPO opinion poll for the newspaper Parapolitika, conducted in late June 2026, records shifts in Greece's political landscape. In the vote estimate, ruling New Democracy (ND) reaches 29.4%, an increase of 0.8 percentage points from the previous measurement. ELAS, the party of former prime minister Alexis Tsipras, consolidates second place with 16.3%, up 1.2 points.
The fall of Elpida and the battle for third
PASOK slips to 11.5%, a decline of 0.9 points. The sharpest movement is registered by Maria Karystianou's Elpida for Democracy, which drops 2.7 points to 7.8% – a loss of more than a quarter of its previous support. Greek Solution recovers to 9.2% and the Communist Party (KKE) climbs to 9.0%, placing both ahead of Elpida.

Voting intention mirrors the trend
In voting intention, ND scores 26% (from 25%), ELAS 14.5% (13.2%), PASOK 10.2% (10.8%), Greek Solution 8.2% (7.8%), KKE 8% (7.5%), and Elpida 6.9% (9.2%). The smaller parties Plefsi Eleftherias (4.3% estimate), MeRA25 (2.9%), Foni Logikis (2.6%), SYRIZA (1.2%) and Niki (1.1%) remain outside parliament.
Who Greeks trust as prime minister
Kyriakos Mitsotakis retains the largest share of trust for the premiership with 33%, followed by Alexis Tsipras (24.9%), Maria Karystianou (15.5%) and Nikos Androulakis (14.9%).

Public mood: demand for change
A large majority – 68% – say they want a different government after the next election, and 49.8% support early elections. 46.4% report that their standard of living has worsened compared with 2019. When asked directly, 58.4% prefer political change, while 38.9% favour stability. The prospect of a new party by former prime minister Antonis Samaras continues to show limited appeal.
Shifting alliances and what comes next
The poll paints a strengthening of the ND-ELAS duopoly, a fragmentation on the left, and a loss of momentum for the post-Tempi protest movement embodied by Elpida. With no party able to govern alone, the question of post-election coalitions remains open.
