A survey held after the tragic floods caused by the Dana works out well for the PSOE government party (Social Democrats) and less good for the People's Party Partido Popular (PP), who is in control of Carlos Mazón.
The poll that predicts a big boost for the PSOE was performed by the Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS). The PSOE rises to 34.2% of the votes in the predicted seat distribution. The Partido Popular (PP), on the other hand, drops to 29.3%in the estimates. This shift results in a lead of almost five percentage points for the socialists. best folding paper box
The poll was carried out between 2 and 7 November, just after the disastrous Dana floods that cost more than two hundred people and flood dozens of villages in Spain. The effect of this disaster on public opinion is therefore clearly reflected in the poll. The PSOE benefits from the image of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Minister of Finance María Jesús Montero, both of whom were visibly involved in assistance and crisis management.
In the meantime, expectations for the PP fall by more than two percentage points compared to the previous month, from 31.5% to 29.3%. At a time when political accountability and crisis management are central, it seems that the PSOE has been better able to maintain the support of voters and even grow light.
Other parties show few surprises in the CIS survey. Vox remains stable at 11.8%, while the new Sumar formation is growing slightly, from 6.3%to 7%. Podemos also shows a slight increase to 3.4%. Smaller parties such as Junts, ERC and EH Bildu remain around 1%.
The study also shows that 42% of the respondents currently prefer Pedro Sánchez as prime minister. On the other hand, 16.3% prefer PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo. It is striking that even within the supporters of the PP, 22.4% prefers Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the current chairman of the Madrid region.
Despite the advantage for the PSOE, the negative feelings towards the two large party leaders remain large. Sánchez rates no less than 40.3% with a 'very bad', while Feijóo is assessed in the same way by 30.5%. The polarizing nature of Spanish politics contradicts these figures. Even in times of national crises such as the Dana, political division and distrust continue to play an important role. Whether the advantageous effect on the PSOE is sustainable towards the next elections will still have to be seen.
