Vox shakes up the electoral map: close to the PSOE in Andalusia, surpasses it in Murcia and overtakes the PP in Catalonia

Quick Look

  • A survey reveals that the PSOE and Sumar repeat at minimum levels after the electoral advance, while Vox reaches a record at the expense of the PP.
  • Feijóo is growing as a presidential option for 60% of Spaniards and Abascal ties with Sánchez and Díaz.
  • The alternative left loses presence in six communities and adds only nine seats, 23 less than in 2023.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

The poll is carried out after an early election that has reconfigured the Spanish political map, with significant losses for the left and gains for the right, particularly Vox.

Poll The left remains KO after the advance: PSOE and Sumar repeat at minimum levels while Vox achieves a record at the expense of the PP

Politics Feijóo grows as a future president for 60% of Spaniards and Abascal already ties with Sánchez and Díaz

For its part, Sumar suffers a general disaster that leads to its complete disappearance from six communities, while it manages to resist with a reduced presence in Madrid, with three seats; in the Valencian Community and Catalonia, with two seats; and in the Balearic Islands and Aragon with a single gap, for a total of nine seats, 23 less than four years ago. In parallel, the alternative left registers the solo appearance, for now, of Podemos, with two seats concentrated in Madrid and Catalonia.

The territorial impact of all the vectors outlined alters traditional balances throughout the country. The Andalusian case is revealing, where the conservative tide raises Vox to 16 seats (compared to nine in 2023), while the PP consolidates 25 and the PSOE stands at 17, that is, only one more than Abascal in the traditional socialist breadbasket. From the disappearance of Sumar, Adelante Andalucía (two seats) wins.

The rise of the right-wing electorate also shakes the north and center of the peninsula. In Castilla y León, Vox jumps to seven representatives, taking ground from the PP, which drops to 16 seats (-2), and the PSOE, which remains at eight (-4). Likewise, the party is advancing strongly in Castilla-La Mancha to six seats, in Aragón it reaches two deputies and in Extremadura it almost ties at two seats with a PSOE (3) in decline. Faced with this tide, the Basque Country stands like a wall where Vox continues without obtaining representation, as in Galicia, where the BNG takes advantage of the progressive setback to gain a second seat.

On the opposite side, the Government coalition faces a general setback that significantly reduces the PSOE bench from 121 seats to 103 in one legislature. In the general erosion of the left's vote, not even Catalan socialism acts as a containment dam. Its 16 deputies in Catalonia are three less than in 2023. This coexists with a readjustment within the sovereign bloc, where ERC reaches nine seats and Junts saves its seven -Alianca Catalana does not appear-, in a stage marked by the reconfiguration of the autonomous space. The Commons (Sumar) suffer a severe setback, from seven to two seats, waiting to know the impact of the recent electoral agreement between ERC and Podemos led by Rufián.

What to Watch

The PP of Cádiz demands the resignation of the mayor of Algeciras after learning of a new complaint of sexual assault

The PP of Cádiz has demanded the immediate resignation of the mayor of Algeciras, José Ignacio Landaluce, after learning of a second complaint of sexual assault filed by a Nueva Generaciones activist. Twelve of the fifteen popular councilors of his government have signed a document registered in the City Council requesting his departure from office. The party warns that it will open an internal file against those who do not support the proposal and will promote all necessary actions to recover the city government if Landaluce resists. The mayor, 67 years old and out of the PP since December 2025, had announced his intention to run again in the municipal elections in 2027 without clarifying under what acronym.
