“Recovery” for ND shows the Pulse poll for SKAI, compared with the previous pollwhich had been a few days after the accident in Tempe: According to the poll presented in the main SKAI news bulletin, with Kosioni Co, the ND recorded an increase of one percentage point, with SYRIZA remaining stable at the percentage recorded in the previous poll. Thus, the difference between the two parties (with reduction on the valid ones) reaches 5 percentage points, against 4, in mid-March, with ND taking 31% against SYRIZA’s 26% (from 30% and 26%, respectively).
In the vote estimate, the difference between ND and SYRIZA is 5.5%.

The voting intention with all answers records the following percentages per party: ND 29.5, SYRIZA 25, PASOK- Movement for Change 9.5, KKE 5.5, Hellenic Solution 3.5, MeRA25 3.5, National Greek Party 3, Other 4, White/invalid/abstain: 5 and Undecided/No answer: 11.5.
In the victory show, however, i.e. in the question “regardless of what you will vote for, which party do you think will come out first?”, the ND maintains and increases its overwhelming supremacy. It receives 52 percentage points (against 48 in mid-March), SYRIZA registers 28 points (against 27 in the previous poll), while the difference between the two parties now reaches 24 points.
To the question of who he is more suitable for the office of prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis leads with 36 points, against his 25 Alexis Tsipras, which gets just one unit more than the third which is o “No one” and registers 24 units. 11% of the respondents answered that the most suitable prime minister is Nikos Androulakis.
One in five respondents (22%) say that a coalition government should be formed at all costs, if an autonomous government does not emerge in the May 21 elections. However, 36% of the respondents state that an effort should be made for a cooperation government and if it does not work, then elections should be held. One in three (33%) states that in the case of non-self-sufficiency, elections should be held as soon as possible.
As a whole, the respondents answer that important criteria for choosing the party they will vote for are social policy in Health and Education, accuracy and economy, security and dealing with crime, issues of institutions and transparency, external politics and defense, but also the accident in Tempe. The Tempe crash, however, is higher in the ranking of voting parameters among younger voters, ages 17 to 29.
38% of respondents states that it would like a ND government or with the ND as its main body, while a SYRIZA government or with SYRIZA as its main body states that it would like 30% of respondents.
