The way polls in Greece work is newspaper analysts call your house and ask you what party you support. Obviously, most people are paranoid about being murdered, fired, or imprisoned, so people that support Golden Dawn often give the answer "undecided".
IMO, 18% is way too much. I agree people prefer not to say if they vote for Golden Dawn, but then how does Acropolis would get more accurate results? I wish it was true but... The third place and above 10% would already be quite a blow for Samaras.
