All 4 projections/polls by Greek TV stations are predicting a No win by 3-4%

at this point we need polls to be systemically wrong for a Yes to win.

Now, if I were to take a guess, knowing a little bit how these studies are made, I would suggest that the biggest misleading part of the poll is the 35% of people who partly agree. It is usually worded something along the lines of: "would you agree that in some cases wearing revealing clothing and excessive make-up can send wrong signals to potential offenders about the woman's sexual availibility?"

I looked up this paper (which you didn't provide a link to, btw). The last sentence in the paragraph: none of the participants agreed that the style of clothing can be used as justification for sexual violence. So it is exactly as I thought. The question was phrased in a way that people understood if it can be used as an explanation to sexual violence, not justification.

The recent survey conducted by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights among the 28 European Union (EU) Member States estimated that 33% of women had experienced physical and/or sexual violence since the age of 15, and that 5% of women had been raped since the age of 15. This survey also showed the high prevalence of intimate partner violence against women, with an average of 22% of European women having been victims of physical and/or sexual violence by their partners since the age of 15, with prevalence across countries ranging from 13% to 32% (European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, 2014).

Understanding attitudes toward violence against women is of paramount importance in order to better understand its root causes and, therefore, develop more effective intervention measures. Clearly, EU prevention policies would benefit from data monitoring attitudes toward violence against women as well as the factors that influence it.

Violence against women is a complex phenomenon that needs to be understood within the wider social context and within the social and cultural norms that permeate it (Flood & Pease, 2009; Gracia, 2014; Jewkes, 2002; Jewkes, Flood, & Lang, 2015; Taylor & Sorenson, 2005). For example, in its “World report on violence and health” (2002), the World Health Organization included factors creating an acceptable climate for violence and those that reduce inhibitions against violence as larger societal factors that influence rates of violence. Research shows that these attitudes condoning violence against women are still widespread (Gracia & Herrero, 2006a; Gracia & Tomás, 2014; Jewkes 2002; Jewkes et al., 2015; WHO, 2013). The importance of addressing public attitudes towards violence against women is illustrated by an increasing body of research showing the influence that these attitudes may have in aspects such as incidence and reporting rates, public and professional responses and the victims’ own responses (e.g. Carlson & Worden, 2005; Flood & Pease, 2009; Frye, 2007; Gracia, García, & Lila, 2008, 2011, 2014; Lila, Gracia, & García, 2013; West & Wandrei, 2002). If we take into account that violence against women remains not only a major social and public health problem, but is also a largely unreported crime (Gracia, 2004), the importance of addressing attitudes towards violence against women becomes even more apparent.
