An era of political uncertainty? A new poll sends shockwaves across Greece's political spectrum

A recent poll is turning heads in Greece as it shows not only what appears to be a total collapse of the main opposition SYRIZA, which fell into single digit numbers, but also a noticeable decline in support for the ruling New Democracy party. Nikos Efstathiou, an Athens based journalist and author, joins Thanos Davelis to break down the key takeaways from this poll as we look at what message it sends about Greek politics, from SYRIZA with its never ending cycles of internal crises, PASOK and its effort to capture the Greek center left, and the ruling New Democracy.
