POLL - Most Greeks expect debt restructuring

* Majority of Greeks expect debt restructuring, poll says

* Greece not seen returning to bond markets in 2012

Most Greeks believe their country will not be able to return to bond markets next year and its debt will be restructured, an opinion poll showed on Thursday.

The survey by pollster MRB for the Realnews newspaper showed almost 60 percent of respondents believe Greece will not manage to return to international bond markets next year, as planned under it bailout agreement with the EU and IMF.

About 40 percent of those asked believe the country will undergo an orderly debt restructuring while 15 percent expect "full-fledged default", the paper said. The survey, based on a sample of 1,032 people nationwide, was conducted on April 1-2.

Despite a raft of official statements to the contrary, rising doubts about Greece's ability to meet its fiscal targets and return to the markets for funding next year have convinced some senior officials in euro zone governments that a debt restructuring is inevitable.
Greece's ruling socialists have a 1.8-percentage-point opinion poll lead over the main opposition conservatives, almost identical to a 1.9 percent lead in the previous MRB poll in February.
