The ruling New Democracy party is 2.4 percentage points ahead of the

the Sunday newspaper "Vima tis Kyriakis."
The poll gives ND 37.5 percent, PASOK 35.1, the Communist Party of
Greece (KKE) 6.5, the Popular Orthodox Rally (LAOS) 3.5 and the
Coalition of the Left Movements and Ecology 3.1
The survey was carried out between April 15 and 25, while the poll
conducted by the same company last March had shown a 4.5 percent margin
in ND's favour, with ND garnering 39.2 and PASOK 34.7.
Prime Minister and ND leader Costas Karamanlis leads PASOK leader
George Papandreou by 7.1 percent on the question of who is most
suitable to be prime minister. Karamanlis polled 43 percent as against
35.9 for Papandreou.
Lastly, as regards the question which party will probably win the next
general election, respondents gave ND 51.1 percent and PASOK 28.6.
