Pro-bailout ND party leading leftists - Greek poll


    ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece's conservative pro-bailout New Democracy (ND) party is ahead of the radical leftist SYRIZA party in the run-up to a June 17 parliamentary election that may decide whether the debt-laden country remains in the euro, a poll showed on Thursday.

    The poll, by DATA RC, was conducted nationwide on May 28-30 and showed that support for ND was 24.5 percent versus 22.1 percent for SYRIZA.

    Stripping out undecided voters and those who will not vote, if an election was held today the poll said ND would get 28.4 percent against SYRIZA's 25.6 percent and that seven parties would make it into parliament.
