Latest CIS poll suggests almost 50% of those over 75 would vote for PSOE.
CIS simulation: PSOE would gain 218 seats if only those over 75 voted. We analyze the potential impact.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
A simulation based on CIS data suggests that PSOE could achieve an absolute majority if the over-75 electorate were the only voters.
## The weight of senior votes
If we look at the polls, there is one striking fact: almost half of those over **75 years old** would lean toward voting for the **PSOE**. This stems from a **CIS** analysis simulating an electoral scenario. The premise is simple: what if only this demographic group were allowed to exercise their right to vote? The numbers are clear.
## Simulated absolute majority
The simulation, conducted using the **Objetivo 176** tool, projects that the **PSOE** would not only win but do so overwhelmingly. The hypothesis is that the party would achieve victory in **51 of 52** electoral constituencies. This would translate into an absolute majority in Congress, reaching **218 seats**. A result that, if materialized, would radically change the Spanish political landscape.
