Athens: A majority of Greeks would vote 'No' to the terms of a proposed bailout deal by foreign lenders but the lead narrowed significantly after banks were closed this week, according to an opinion poll published on Wednesday.
The poll, conducted between June 28 and June 30 and published in the Efimerida ton Syntakton newspaper, showed 54 per cent of those planning to vote in Sunday's referendum would oppose the bailout against 33 per cent in favour.
However, a breakdown of results between those polled before and after Sunday's decision to close the banks and impose capital controls showed the gap narrowing.
Of those polled before the announcement of the bank closures, 57 per cent said they would vote 'No' against 30 per cent for who would vote 'Yes'. Of those polled after, 'No' was at 46 per cent against 37 per cent for 'Yes'.
The poll showed support for 'No' strongest among voters of the ruling leftist Syriza party (77 per cent), the far-right Golden Dawn party (80 per cent) and the Communist KKE (57 per cent).
