According to the poll, irrespective of voting intentions, 55 percent believe that the ND will win the next election.
Conservative leader, Kyriakos Mitsotakis is preferred as prime minister by 31 percent. Alexis Tsipras gets the votes of 23 percent. However, forty percent of respondents say they prefer neither.
The findings are consistent with surveys by other polling companies of recent months.
