According to a study conducted by GPO for Mega Channel, the average Golden Dawn voter is male, of a young age and low income and self-identifies himself as centrist or center-leftist.

The study, which was presented in a late-night evening chat show with Yannis Pretenderis, shows that 67% of Golden Dawn voters are male and 63% are on a low income. About 43% of Golden Dawn voters are aged 25 to 39, 24% are aged 40 to50 and 15% is aged 55 to 64. Perhaps one of the more remarkable findings in study is that 38.3% define themselves as center-leftists and a further 35% as centrists.

Despite the neo-Nazi party giving the impression that it is on the rise, its popularity has been on a steady decline since the 2012 elections, when they achieved a 10% approval rate. The most recent readings indicate their approval rating dropped to 7.2%.

The imprisoned Golden Dawn leader Nikos Michaloliakos has also seen his popularity drop from an 18.1% high in February 2013 to 9.4% a year later, especially since the murder of anti-fascist activist Pavlos Fyssas by a high-ranking Golden Dawn member.

When asked whether Golden Dawn should be considered a criminal organization, 62.4% agreed or mostly agreed, while 32.8% were opposed or mostly opposed to the suggestion. About 77.3% believe that even though Golden Dawn is a criminal organization, it maintains its presence due to the people’s dissatisfaction and ongoing financial crisis.
