ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A new poll published in Greece shows a trend towards a fragmented parliament, with no party gaining an overall majority in elections expected next month and the conservative front-runner losing ground to the socialists. The poll, published Sunday in Kathimerini newspaper, shows the coalition partners, the conservatives and the socialists, getting 38 percent between them, with the conservatives slipping 2.5 points from the previous poll, two weeks ago, to 22.5 percent, and the socialists gaining 4.5 points, to 15.5 percent.

Three leftist parties gain 36.5 percent between them, down from 39 percent.
