The intention of Pedro Sánchez to exhaust the legislature clashes with a majority of Spaniards. The preferred scenario for 55.5% is the calling of early elections, compared to 37.9% who favor holding them when due, in 2027, according to the results of the Political Survey of Spain by GESOP for Prensa Ibérica.
The demand for an electoral advance is almost unanimous among PP (94.2%) and Vox (92.7%) voters. Although left-wing voters largely want to exhaust the legislature, even one in three PSOE voters favor early elections. Support for exhausting the legislature is highest among voters of EH Bildu (86.8%) and Sumar (82.6%).
Ideological polarization is reflected in the dilemma of advancing elections or not, with 93.7% of those who declare themselves right-wing favoring the first option.
Among the investiture partners, Junts voters are divided: 42.6% prefer to extend the legislature until 2027, and 40.8% prefer to advance the elections. Regionally, Catalonia (54.3%) and Euskadi (53.5%) are the only communities where the majority of respondents support the Government's determination not to call elections.
On the opposite side, the preference for calling early elections is highest in Castilla-La Mancha (70.5%), where the regional president, Emiliano García-Page, has openly favored going to the polls to avoid depending on agreements with independentist parties.
