ATHENS (Reuters) - The lead that Greece's anti-bailout party Syriza has over the ruling conservatives has narrowed, according to two polls published after Prime Minister Antonis Samaras was forced to call a parliamentary election on Jan. 25.

A survey by Marc for Alpha TV showed the left-wing Syriza would get 28.1 percent of the vote if elections were held now, versus 25.1 percent for Prime Minister Antonis Samaras's New Democracy party - down from a 3.6 point lead last week.
