Poll Shows Vox Leading in Canary Islands Before Nov. 29 Election
Listen to the story
Spain is preparing for a general election on November 29, and new polls give an early idea of how people may vote.
A survey focused on the Canary Islands shows Vox in the lead in voting intention, ahead of both the PSOE and the PP.
The same poll also looked at results for Coalición Canaria, a party that runs mainly in the Canary Islands.
A separate poll, this time focused on Andalusia, examined support for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and his party, PSOE.
According to this survey, Sánchez is managing to hold his position despite some loss of support, often described as political wear.
In Andalusia, the poll also found that Vox has overtaken the PP, another sign of the party's growing strength in southern Spain.
These findings suggest that Vox is gaining ground in more than one region ahead of the November vote.
However, experts remind the public that polls only offer estimates, not confirmed outcomes.
Results can change in the weeks before an election, depending on campaigning and other events.
The final results will only be known once votes are counted on election day.
Until then, these surveys give an early, incomplete picture of the national political mood.
Analysts will likely continue tracking more polls as November 29 approaches, watching whether Vox keeps its lead.
