The survey points to a rise in Vox and a fall in the majority of the forces that make up the investiture bloc. Pedro Sánchez, for his part, is still the preferred candidate of the people to govern.
During the summer, the PSOE increased its lead over the PP to 4.5 points, while support for Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s party fell by 1.7 points, according to the latest barometer from the Centre for Sociological Research (CIS), which estimates that 33% voted for the Socialists and 28.5% for the Popular Party.
The survey, based on 4,027 interviews from September 2 to 6, points to an increase of 0.9 points in Vox compared to the previous barometer in July, to 13.1%, and also to an increase in Sumar, of 1.2 points, to 7.8%.
The rise of the PSOE is solely due to the loss of support suffered by the PP, as the Socialists obtained only a tenth of the estimated votes collected during the July sample of the CIS.
Besides the Popular Party, most of the forces that made up the investiture bloc are falling in this barometer; We can go from a 4 to a 3.6 (-0.4); ERC from 1.7 to 1.4 (-0.3); Junts falls from 1.6 to 1.3 (-0.3); EH Bildu, from 1.2 to 1.1 (-0.1) and the PNV falls from 1.1 to 0.9 in September (-0.2).
On the contrary, “Se Acabó la Fiesta”, which has no representation in Congress but does in the European Parliament, increases by two tenths from an estimated vote of 2.7 to 2.9, confirming the upward trend observed in CIS surveys.
In addition, the BNG gains two tenths to 0.8%, while the Canary Coalition remains at 0.3%, and the UPN at 0.1.
Sánchez, the best rated
On the other hand, the president of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez, is still the preferred candidate by the citizens to govern; this is explained by 24.8% of those polled, less than the 26.5% who chose it two months ago. He is followed by Feijóo, the favorite at 12.1 (compared to 13.5 in July).
