Of Antonis Anzoletou
Two contenders, a favorite and a regulator. This was the result of the new PULSE measurement carried out from 9-11 May on behalf of SKAI.
The polarized scenario divides the citizens as to the timing of the elections. 46% want the government to end its term and 41% want the elections to be held in 2022 according to the count.
They are “united”, but the economy. There is no doubt that accuracy monopolizes interest in party staffs. The pandemic tired society, but its effects, even the failures that existed, were covered by the global health crisis. The Greek-Turkish ones have caused terror in several cases, but always the citizens in national crises gather around the “flag”.
In the economy, however, there is no excuse and once again its course will judge the elections. Every household’s pocket is a personal matter. It ignores growth, deficits and stock markets and that is why the PULSE poll records an increase in pessimism indices. 55% are rather pessimistic (31%) or certainly pessimistic (24%) about the course of the Greek economy.
In the same measurement it became clear that Maximou withstands the pressure he receives. The announcement of the new measures helped her a lot. According to the general director of PULSE, George Arapoglou, if a measurement had been made in April, the percentages of the blue faction would have been lower.
The holding of the conference helped her less in contrast to ΚΙΝΑΛ which is estimated to have gained a half-unit air due to the 180,000-member attendance at pre-conference proceedings. With reduction on the valid ones in the intention to vote the ΝΔ reaches 32.5%, the SYRIZA 24%, the ΚΙΝΑΛ 14.5%, the KKE 5.5%, h Greek Solution 4.5% and DAY25 3%. The ruling party and SYRIZA also won by 0.5%.
The SW braked its small fall and if it turns out that it succeeds in the coming months, Kyriakos Mitsotakis will be justified for his choice so far to set up the polls in the spring of 2023.
According to opinion polls, “he has not entered the third phase of a government where the losses are so great that there is no turning back.” It seems that the rise of SYRIZA is small but stable.
Much of the “political change” announced by Alexis Tsipras will depend on the turnout in Sunday’s by-elections for his re-election. In the official opposition they want to create an “air of victory”, while questioning the accuracy of the polls.
However, since in the monthly measurements the critical indicator of the victory show remains almost constant recording a large difference in favor of the majority (55% ND, 24% SYRIZA), the climate in society does not save spectacular upheavals or changes.
The coming months will be crucial, as citizens will see and judge whether the money that will come into their hands from the new measures is sufficient to cover a significant part of their spending. It is no coincidence that in the PULSE poll even for the sanctions taken by the EU. against Russia respondents appear divided as they feel they are living the effects of them.
Regarding the space of the center, Kyriakos Mitsotakis is still the strong one in the “company of three”, a fact that justifies the endurance of ND in the first place with a difference of 8.5 points after three years of rule. Typically, 44% of the middle-class voters support that Kyriakos Mitsotakis can better deal with the issues of the economy. 19% prefer Nikos Androulakis and 15% Alexis Tsipras.
The centrist voters in their majority (54%) believe that the measures taken by the government are in the right direction, although more are needed, while 30% are in the wrong direction. The “gray zone” reacts to the same question by 66%, constituting a wide field of search for new votes for the opposition. The space shows a small dynamic
