Spain's right well ahead in polls for November 29 election

Polls show Spain's conservative People's Party leading Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's Socialists ahead of the November 29 general election, though the bloc may need Vox to secure a parliamentary majority. Housing, immigration and a deadly train crash are shaping the campaign. The right-wing bloc maintains its advantage despite some softening for Vox after the Urda rail disaster. PSOE support has edged up slightly in recent surveys but remains behind. The election will determine whether Sanchez retains power or a right-wing coalition takes office.

  1. Spain's right holds wide poll lead ahead of November 29 election

    Polls show Spain's conservative People's Party leading Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's Socialists ahead of the November 29 general election, though the bloc may need Vox to secure a parliamentary majority. Housing, immigration and a deadly train crash are shaping the campaign. The right-wing bloc maintains its advantage despite some softening for Vox after the Urda rail disaster. PSOE support has edged up slightly in recent surveys but remains behind. The election will determine whether Sanchez retains power or a right-wing coalition takes office.

    Why it matters

    Spain last held a general election in 2023, producing a fragmented parliament and a minority Socialist government reliant on smaller parties. The November 29 vote comes amid a housing crisis that triggered Spain's first general strike in 14 years, and follows a deadly rail disaster at Urda that has damaged the government's standing. A right-wing victory would mark a shift in national policy on immigration, housing and relations with the European Union. The outcome hinges on whether the PP can govern alone or must form a coalition with Vox.

    What is confirmed

    • Polls show Spain's right-wing bloc well ahead of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's Socialists ahead of the November 29 general election.

    • Election results and whether the PP-Vox bloc secures a parliamentary majority.
    • Post-election coalition negotiations if no bloc wins an outright majority.
