In a September CIS survey of 18-to-24-year-olds, PSOE led; most students in a brief ABC street poll named Vox, but the samples are not comparable.
In a September survey by Spain’s Centre for Sociological Research (CIS), 30.6% of respondents aged 18 to 24 said they intended to vote for the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE), 23.4% for Vox and 13.9% for the People’s Party (PP), ABC reported.
Separately, journalist Nacho Pla asked students at Madrid’s Complutense University about their political preferences. In ABC’s street interviews, most respondents chose Vox; others named the PP or left-wing parties including Sumar. The brief street interviews are not a representative poll and do not contradict the CIS survey.
Students who said they backed Vox mentioned migration, taxes and the need for change. Some PP supporters cited housing affordability and the performance of regional authorities. Sumar and other left-wing supporters described their political choice as support for that platform or dissatisfaction with the PSOE.
Spain’s snap parliamentary election is scheduled for November 29 after Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called for parliament to be dissolved. The date was confirmed by the Spanish government and international news agencies.
