Spain’s ruling Socialist Workers’ Party would win the general election by a narrow margin over the main opposition party, while a new left-wing coalition has overtaken the far-right for third place, according to an opinion poll shown on Wednesday.
General elections are expected to be held by December, with local and regional voting on May 28 helping gauge levels of support for each party.
Conducted by the state Center for Sociological Studies (CIS) in the first week of May, the poll showed that Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s party had 29.1% of vote intentions in the general election, a drop of 1.3 points percentages compared to the previous month.
The party was closely followed by the Conservative People’s Party (PP) with 27.2%, up 1.1 points from April.
Some polls in recent months have shown the PP ahead, but also far behind the majority.
Sumar, a new alliance of progressive parties led by Labor Minister Yolanda Díaz, garnered the support of 12.1% of some 4,000 people polled by the CIS.
It was only the second time Sumar has appeared in a CIS poll, having garnered 10.6% of the vote last month.
Far-right Vox fell to fourth place at 10.6% from 11.1% in April, likely hurt by PP gains.
