The latest Opinion Poll<\/b> by Opinion Poll<\/b> for Action 24 – like others this season – has once again highlighted that, despite the polemic from the entire opposition<\/b> and indeed with similar rhetoric, the new documents<\/b> etc, the government<\/b> has its wear and tear, but shows reflexes of coming back. <\/b><\/p>\n
It is clear that there are basically two “themes” where developments will be decided.<\/p>\n
First:<\/b>International turmoil, the war <\/b>in Iran<\/b> are keeping the anxiety levels of citizens very high and this is strengthening the tendency to seek stability in the country.<\/b> Makes sense, doesn’t it? In the Opinion Poll, 78.2% believe that geostrategic turbulence requires stability in the country. This is a structural advantage for<\/b> Kyriakos Mitsotakis.<\/b><\/p>\n
More so that high tones from the opposition,<\/b> the hammering, as journalists say, combined with the poll performance, do not allow them to be seen as agents of stability but noise. Strong points of K. Mitsotakis;<\/b><\/p>\n
The high approval of the government’s foreign and defense policy reaching 44.7%,<\/b>far above the polling performance of New Democracy<\/b> in the vote estimate, even the rate of the 2023 parliamentary elections. Stability, security<\/b> and in some social – ideological categories, national self-confidence<\/b> are an important trifecta.<\/p>\n
And let’s not forget that the government’s foreign policy has been harshly criticised everywhere. We have heard about intransigence, marginalisation of the country, risks, the need for a better balance with Russia, etc. All this does not prevent about half of Greece from feeling good, from looking positively at the initiatives that have shielded the country.<\/p>\n
Second: <\/b>There is the accuracy, <\/b>which we have seen as the first problem in the priorities of citizens for over four years. Indeed, in the same survey, the already burdened picture is compounded by fear of what the war will bring as an additive strong wave of precision.<\/b><\/p>\n
92.3% are worried about such a prospect creating further problems for citizens. In short, the economy is not just a problem, but a determinant of political behavior<\/b> and a fuel for social discontent.<\/p>\n
However, let’s look at the picture clearly. The government is taking initiatives that are not leaving public opinion unmoved.<\/b> About 35% think that the recently announced economic measures are in a positive direction<\/b> and the same percentage thinks that this government is trying in the fiscal framework to improve people’s living standards<\/b>.<\/b> 35% is in the minority, so I guess it is understood that this is a very critical performance.<\/b><\/p>\n
So there seems to be a strong will for stability,<\/b> but there is increasing social pressure. There is dissatisfaction, but as if society is unwilling to take the risk of a change in these circumstances and so there is no “wave of change”<\/b><\/p>\n
And of course there are breakdowns, but there is no collapse of government<\/b> as many are finding. Add to this the lack of a party that capitalizes on any government deterioration,<\/b>as well as the fact that no clear alternative seems to be in sight, and then it can be more understandable that ND maintains a 16%-17% lead.<\/p>\n
