Just to be clear, whomever Varoufakis is popular with, that's not Greek voters. In the recent parliamentary elections the party he leads, MeRa25, received less than 3% of the vote (2.50%) and thus missed the threshold for seats in parliament:

MeRa25's is row 9 in the table at the top of the section.
Of course, the same parliamentary elections gave more than 3% and seats in parliament to various far-right remnants of Golden Dawn, like the "Spartans" (4.68%, 12 seats), "Victory" (3.70%, 10 seats) and "Greek Solution" (4.44%, 12 seats), and the Greek Communist Party (7.69%, 21 seats) so Varoufakis popularity is really no criterion for anything at all. At this point Greeks might next vote for Karagiozis (our version of Bozo the clown ish) for all the difference it will make.
