Greek election poll – SYRIZA 3.1 point lead over New Democracy

From Kathimerini (Greek daily newspaper published in Athens):

• SYRIZA party led the ruling conservatives by 3.1 percentage points in an opinion poll conducted after it became clear that a snap election would be called, the pollster Rass said on Saturday (a slight narrowing from a 3.4 point lead in a previous Rass poll last month)
• The survey for Sunday’s Eleftheros Typos newspaper was conducted on Dec. 29 to 30, after Prime Minister Antonis Samaras failed to have his candidate elected president by parliament
• Sample size was 1,002 Greeks
