PP overtakes PSOE in latest ElectoPanel polling
The ElectoPanel has been mapping out a scenario that seemed unthinkable just weeks ago: the PP leading the PSOE by five, eight, or eleven seats; Vox approaching 18%; and Ciudadanos on the brink of extinction. In one of the most recent updates, the right-wing bloc reaches 170 seats, a situation far removed from the previous legislative term.
These estimates have moved beyond theoretical exercises to become an uncomfortable snapshot for the Government. As is often the case when polls do not favor the left, doubts about the methodology arise. Some argue the panel mirrors CIS trends but in reverse. The term "electoral fraud" surfaces in discussions, though no evidence supports it.
The electoral shift, week by week
The numbers leave little room for interpretation. In the November 28 update, Vox was only 2.5 points behind the PP. A week later, the PSOE dropped to 112 seats. Subsequent data confirmed the overtake: 113 seats for the PP versus 108 for the socialists, trinc by 115 against 107. Meanwhile, Vox holds steady at 17-18%, nearing 60 seats, a historic high.
Smaller parties also decline in the barometer. Ciudadanos, once fighting for the political center, sits at 7.7% and ties with ERC in seat count. Unidas Podemos barely exceeds 13%. Combined, the right-wing parties total 170 seats.
Vox support becomes visible on the street
Social trends accompany these figures. In specific provinces, voters are "coming out" electorally: those who four years ago hid their vote for Vox now admit it openly. This factor helps explain why the party maintains support above 17%, despite appeals for tactical voting among traditional right-wing voters. A similar phenomenon occurred with Podemos during its peak, when admitting support ceased to be stigmatized.
PSOE's floor remains a key unknown
Despite crises and recent emergency management issues, the PSOE does not fall below 100 seats in the panel. This "floor" frustrates the right and fuels theories about captive voting. It remains unclear why the governing party, facing such accumulated wear, retains a cushion of 107 seats. History suggests panels are accurate when measuring close races, not when relying on inertia.
The ElectoPanel does not cast votes, but it offers a clear image of a country shifting right faster than its institutions. The next CIS release will reveal if this picture is a mirror or a biased distortion. The contrast itself will again be the news.
