Greece's pro-bailout conservatives have a 1.8 percentage point lead over their leftist rivals, a poll showed on Thursday ahead of a repeat national election next month that could determine the country's future in the euro zone.
The MARC/Alpha TV poll put support for the conservative New Democracy party at 28.8% while SYRIZA, which opposes the country's international bailout, came second with 27%.
The Socialist PASOK party, which also backs the bailout, came third with 13.9%.
The result would give New Democracy and PASOK a combined 14-seat majority in the 300-member parliament, according to the poll.
