European Tribune - Brief Greek election polling update
Having said that a new poll by the Panteion University of Social Science in Athens, shows that 1 in 3 Greeks applaud (not just tolerate) egg and yogurt throwing against politicians, one in four support physical violence against politicians, and a staggering one in eight declare themselves willing to clash with the police...

My old history prof claimed that when about 5% of the population is willing to physically fight the government it is toast. I don't think there was a source to the calculation, but rather a his estimate looking at revolutions over time.
