A key finding from the latest survey reveals that a significant majority of citizens, spanning various political affiliations and social strata—even including public servants themselves—support the elimination of permanent civil service positions. According to Marc’s poll, two-thirds of public employees favor abolishing tenure in the public sector to allow for the dismissal of those failing to meet their responsibilities. Additionally, an impressive ninety percent of respondents believe that individuals responsible for damaging universities should be accountable for repair costs.
Marc’s survey suggests a gradual return to political stability: New Democracy (ND) has seen a notable 1.7-point uptick in voter intention, while Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s approval as a prime ministerial candidate has risen by 2.1 points to 32.3%, maintaining a 20-point edge over Zoe Konstantopoulou. In the voter intention estimates, ND stands at 30.6%, with a range between 28% and 33.2%, aligning closely with the outcomes of recent European elections.
The growth of ND is largely attributed to a societal shift away from the singular focus on the Tempi tragedy, alongside new initiatives benefitting tenants and low pensioners. Recent polls convey a prevailing sentiment that “the government has returned” following the latest cabinet restructuring.
ND’s resurgence is paralleled by a rise in favorable opinions towards the government and the prime minister, now reaching approximately 39%. Conversely, Plefsi Eleftherias has decreased by 0.6 points—the first decline since large gatherings occurred in January regarding Tempi—showing a loss of 2.7 points since April in terms of perceived opposition strength.
