Talk about dropping in voter momentum! George Papandreou's socialist PASOK party is literally hanging on for dear life, and totally collapsing! In a new public opinion poll conducted by Public Issue for SKAI television, PASOK only scored 8 percent as opposed to the main opposition party which is favored by some 31 percent of voters.
The poll, which was carried included the polling of some 1,002 citizens, noted that the Democratic Left party was garnering 18 percent of the public vote (up 4.5 percent since last month), while the Communist Party (KKE) and the Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) were holding a firm 12.5 and 12 percent (respectively).
Support for the extreme right-wing LAOS slipped to just barely 5 percent, while the far extreme-right party Chrysi Avgi (Golden Dawn) has surged to 3 percent and from what it looks like will be able to make it to parliament.
The poll’s results for parties are broadly reflected in the support for the politicians that lead them. Democratic Left leader Fotis Kouvelis tops the list, attracting the support of 56 percent of respondents, followed by 41 percent for SYRIZA’s Alexis Tsipras and ND chief Antonis Samaras with 31 percent George Karatzaferis with 25 percent, Dora Bakoyannis with 19 percent, and yup... believe it or not folks... George Papandreou only scored a mere nine percent!!! (wonder why.... ?)
Respondents were divided on Papademos, with 48 percent expressing a negative opinion about him and 46 percent a positive one. Respondents were virtually unanimous though in their criticism of his government’s achievements, with a whopping 91 percent expressing their complete and utter disappointment.
