Specifically, 28 percent of the 1,000 respondents in the opinion poll said they will cast their vote based on a political party’s program and planks; 25 percent said they will vote based on a party’s ideology; 15 percent answered that they will vote for a party that “has no relation to corruption”; 14 percent will voted based on their comparisons of the ND and SYRIZA governments, respectively, while 9 percent will cast their vote based on a party’s leader.
Asked about the persuasiveness of pre-election promises by ND and SYRIZA, in terms of the former, 10 percent of respondents said they were greatly persuaded; 21 percent said “very much”; 21 percent answered “a little”, while 41 percent of respondents answered that they were not persuaded at all by ND’s pre-election pledges.
