New Democracy records 26%, the Greek Left Alliance (ELAS) 14.5% and PASOK–Movement for Change 11% in the PULSE voting-intention survey for SKAI, presented on 22 October 2026. These percentages cover all responses.

Two tables with different bases

The presentation also includes an undecided-voter allocation scenario: New Democracy 30%, ELAS 16.5% and PASOK 13%. The gap between the first two parties in this scenario is 13.5 percentage points. The 30% figure is not the raw voting-intention result.

Voting intention also includes 11% undecided/no answer and 1.5% abstention, blank or invalid ballot. These two groups complete the total responses in the first table.

When and how the survey was conducted

Fieldwork took place 17–20 October among a nationwide sample of 1,107 eligible voters, using telephone and online responses (CATI/CASI/CAWI). The published methodology states weighting for sex, age, region and electoral behaviour, a 95% confidence level and a sampling error of ±2.9 percentage points.

The allocation scenario is the company’s calculated estimate, not additional responses from voters. The findings reflect responses during the fieldwork period and are not an election-result forecast.
