Greece's conservatives have widened their lead over their socialist coalition partners, but would not secure an absolute majority if elections were held now, a poll showed on Thursday.
New Democracy would win 30.5 percent of the vote, according to an opinion poll by VPRC. A total of 12 percent would vote for the former ruling PASOK party, down from 18 percent in the previous month.
"PASOK's continuing drop has brought the party to fifth place," VPRC consultant Christoforos Vernardakis said.
As many as 92 percent of the 801 surveyed between January 20-23 said they were dissatisfied with the handling of the country's debt crisis by technocrat Prime Minister Lucas Papademos' coalition government, made up by the PASOK, New Democracy and the far-right LAOS parties.
A total of 45 percent want elections now versus 34 percent, who want Papademos to stay in power.
