Polls show People's Party ahead of Socialists ahead of Spain's November 29 election

Summary

Recent surveys indicate the People's Party leads the Socialists, but would need Vox to form a governing majority in the upcoming vote.

Recent opinion polls suggest the conservative People's Party (PP) is ahead of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's Socialist Party in the run-up to Spain's general election on November 29. Analysts note that even with a lead, the PP would still require the support of the right-wing Vox party to secure a parliamentary majority.

The campaign, which begins in four days, is expected to focus on housing, immigration, corruption and the aftermath of last month’s fatal train crash that led to Transport Minister Oscar Puente’s resignation.

"The electoral campaign will be dominated by issues such as housing, immigration and corruption, and the reverberations of the train crash," the Reuters report said.

The poll data were reported by Reuters from Madrid on November 9.
