ATHENS (Reuters) - Former Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras's leftist Syriza party is running neck-and-neck with its main conservative rival, New Democracy, ahead of national elections on Sept. 20, according to three polls published on Friday.

Syriza's poll lead has shrivelled since Tsipras resigned in August and called the snap election in an attempt to shore up support for the country's new bailout programme.
