ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece's anti-bailout Syriza party held a steady lead over Prime Minister Antonis Samaras' conservatives ahead of a Jan. 25 snap election, a poll showed on Tuesday.

Alexis Tsipras' Syriza led by 3 percentage points over Samaras' New Democracy party, the survey conducted by pollsters Rass between Jan. 11 and 12 showed, marginally up from 2.7 points in a poll conducted earlier this month.

Syriza, which has vowed to cancel austerity measures and renegotiate an international bailout, would garner 30.2 percent of the vote against 27.2 percent for New Democracy with less than two weeks before Greeks vote.
