Poll shows PSOE would sweep Barcelona province again

A Sigma Dos poll for Spain's general election in the province of Barcelona gives the PSOE between 11 and 12 seats, far ahead of ERC (5-6) and the PP (5). The figure is striking because the PSOE would keep a broad dominance in a territory where the independence movement and the right split the rest.

## A poll that leaves the PSOE well on top

The **Sigma Dos** survey for the general election in **Barcelona** puts the PSOE at **11-12 seats**, a result that, if confirmed, would make it the leading force in the province by a wide margin. The poll uses a range: it is not a fixed number but an interval reflecting the usual margin of error of this kind of work. The gap with the runner-up, **ERC**, is almost double: the republicans would win **5-6** seats.

This split matters because Barcelona concentrates a large number of seats in the Congress of Deputies, and its outcome shapes the result across Catalonia. A PSOE that sweeps the province not only wins seats: it sets the narrative of election night.

## ERC and Junts, far from their best

The poll leaves **ERC** at **5-6** seats and **Junts** at **3**. For parties that have competed to lead the independence movement, these figures represent a notable decline in the province. **Junts**, with only **3**, would trail **VOX** (**4**) and sit far behind the PP.

The **Junts** figure is the most jarring: a party with historic weight in Catalonia finishing fourth or fifth in Barcelona is a sign of erosion that the poll picks up, albeit with the caution any survey deserves.

## PP and VOX, rising but not contesting first place

The **PP** would win **5** seats and **VOX**, **4**. These figures confirm the right's presence in the province, but they do not threaten the PSOE's first place. The two combined (**9**) would still fall short of the socialists' **11-12**.

The poll also includes **FA** with **3** seats, a figure best read with care: provincial polls have wide margins, and seat allocation by constituency depends on fractions of a point.
