Tsipras announced his resignation in August to pave the way for early elections in a bid to secure popular support for his stance on the new 86-billion-euro ($96 billion) bailout package with the country's creditors. The vote is due to take place on September 20.
"From the answer to the question who is the most suitable prime minister for Greece or from the popularity polls, it seems Mr. Tsipras has a positive image for a significant percentage of voters. At least as of today he is in first place in the poll on who is the most suitable prime minister for Greece," Arapoglou said.
According to the pollster, there has been a slight increase in negative, and slight decrease in positive, opinions about Tsipras among Greek voters.
In a July nation-wide referendum, the majority of Greeks voted against a lender-proposed bailout plan, which contained strict austerity measures.
On August 14, after months of negotiations, the Eurogroup approved the third bailout package for debt-ridden Athens, requiring in return more reforms, including tax increases and pension cuts.
The Syriza party had promised to revise Greece’s austerity measures, unpopular in the nation, after securing victory in the January election. When further austerity measures were nevertheless approved, the party split.
