A new poll published Saturday in financial weekly Agora gives Syriza a slender lead over main opposition New Democracy (ND).
According to the MRB poll Alexis Tsipras party gets 24.6% with ND following with 22.8%.
The poll suggests that the September 20 election will be a close call.
Up to 9 parties could be represented in the new parliament, the poll suggests.
At least 8 of the parties are comfortably passing the 3% threshold required by electoral law to have parliamentary representation.
Independent Greeks, junior government partners of Syriza, are below the threshold according to the MRB poll.
Other polls
Other opinion polls also indicated that the election race will be a close one.
A poll conducted by the University of Macedonia on behalf of Skai TV indicated that Syriza has experienced a dramatic slump in support, falling by 9.5 percentage points to 25 percent. In contrast, New Democracy has seen its backing increase from 16.5 percent in June to 22 percent this month.
Syriza was supported by 23 percent of those polled by ProRata for Friday’s Efimerida ton Syntakton newspaper, with New Democracy second on 19.5 percent. The previous ProRata poll in early July showed a wider gap in SYRIZA’s favor, putting the party on 26 percent compared with 15 percent for New Democracy.
Syriza would get 29 percent and conservative ND 27.8 percent if elections were held now, a poll conducted by Metron Analysis for Parapolitika newspaper showed.
