Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal (gated) reports:
- In nine separate opinion polls that were published in the Greek media during the past two days, Syriza was poised to win the coming vote, edging out the ruling New Democracy party by a margin of between 2.7 and 5.5 percentage points, with most of the polls showing an average lead of about 3.2 percentage points—slightly above the margin of error. A 10th poll, published in a pro-Syriza newspaper and after adjusting for undecided voters, gave the party an eight-percentage-point lead.
