Dow Jones Newswires: Latest polls show “Syriza” party at 25%
According to the latest internal surveys by PASOK and New Democracy parties, Syriza continues to make strong gains among Greek voters...
Syriza is probably the country's most popular party since there are no information about the two ex-major parties...
The international news agency Dow Jones Newswires, reported that Syriza is now garnering around 25% of the vote--up from the outcome of the 6th of May elections when it gathered 16.8% of the votes, two percentage points behind New Democracy's 18.9%.
Political Thriller in Greece! The first exit polls!

Exit polls of the Greek media:
Upcoming elections! Last chance for the Greek people to be heard…
Greece is near the end of a very strange pre-election period... The upcoming elections might be the most critical of the last decades but the political scene still remains quite cloudy!
Nobody can predict what will happen next Sunday... The two (ex?) major parties are trying to gather their powers and find a strategy that will allow to reduce leakages of voters due to the memorandum... After all, the two parties have common political plans that are focused on the European commands for austerity and budgetary consolidation, and it is almost sure that they will join their forces in a possibly coalition government.
Of course this could happen only if PASOK and New Democracy parties manage to reach a total percentage around 38% (despite the 50-seat bonus that the 1st party will receive due to the electoral law) of the electorate to pass the 150+1 seat limit and gain the absolute majority in the 300-seat Parliament
Greek left-wing and communist parties reject crisis coalition deal
The Greek Communist Party (KKE) as well as the left-wing SYRIZA party rejected the invitation for the meeting among the Greek president Papoulias and the party leaders on Monday for the reason that the new coalition government is not established through elections and thereby is illegitimate. As a result, the meeting was canceled.
KKE leader Aleka Papariga belittled the crisis coalition deal, on the grounds that the temporary government will not have the capability to restrain the nation's huge debt avoiding a default.
