Greece's conservatives, who support the country's internationally funded bailout program, are commanding a wafer-thin lead in the last public-opinion polls to be published ahead of a survey blackout before June 17 elections, which are seen as a de facto referendum on Greece's future inside the euro zone.
Three polls Friday show New Democracy narrowly edging out the rival antiausterity Syriza party and confirming a broad trend shown by more than half a dozen similar surveys in the past week that give the conservatives a slight advantage.
But the polls in the Ta Nea and Eleftheros Typos newspapers and on the privately owned ANT1 channel, all show the difference separating the two parties is less than three percentage points—within the statistical margin of error—suggesting the race remains too close to call.
According to the three surveys of voter intentions, the conservatives would get between 22.7% and 26.5% of the vote, versus 22% to 24.2% for the radical left party. A fourth survey, for the Kathimerini newspaper and adjusted for undecided voters, showed Syriza ahead.
