The February barometer from the CIS confirms PSOE's dominance with 32.6% of the projected vote, placing Pedro Sánchez nearly ten points ahead of the PP in Spain.

While PSOE gained nine points, the PP dropped to 22.9%. Vox remains the third political force with 18.9%, followed by Sumar at 7% and Podemos at 3.9%.
The poll suggests the government remains unaffected by train accidents in Gelida and Adamuz, or recent electoral setbacks in regions like Extremadura and Aragon.
Regarding Catalan parties, ERC holds 2.5% of the vote, remaining the fifth largest force nationally, while Junts saw a slight increase to 1.2%.
