Greek Syriza leftists widen lead over conservatives - poll


    ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece's anti-bailout Syriza party has widened its opinion poll lead over the ruling conservatives to 4.2 percentage points from 3.8 points in a previous poll, a survey showed on Wednesday, four days before a national election.

    The poll by Rass for iefimerida.gr showed the radical-left Syriza party, which is running on pledges to end austerity policies and renegotiate the country's debt, would get 31.2 percent of the vote if elections were held now versus 27 percent for the New Democracy conservatives.

    The survey showed the centrist party To Potami at third place with 6.3 percent.
