The Spanish prefer a left-wing government or a PP-PSOE coalition rather than an alliance between Feijóo and Abascal

On July 24, a new political battle will most likely begin: the investiture of the next Prime Minister. Or what is the same, the dance of the pacts. In the face-to-face debate, Alberto Núñez Feijóo offered Pedro Sánchez an agreement for the PSOE to facilitate his investiture if the PP candidate wins, with the guarantee that the popular ones would do the same if the Socialists win. He was left on paper, but most Spaniards don’t think it’s such a bad idea. According to the pre-election survey of the Gabinet d’Estudis Socials i Opinió Pública (GESOP) For Prensa Ibérica, the Spanish (among them the majority of PSOE and Sumar voters) prefer Feijóo and Sánchez to understand each other rather than an alliance between PP and Vox, although the majority bet continues to be the reissue of the current government coalition.

37.8% of Spaniards bet on a PSOE and Sumar government, six points more than when the elections were called. In fact, in the previous GESOP survey, the pact of lefts and the PP-PSOE grand coalition they were in a technical tie, but now the supporters of the entente between popular and socialists (28.7%) have fallen three points. However, there are still more than those who advocate the agreement between PP and Vox (21.2%), which have also dropped one and a half points since the beginning of June.

However, most of PP voters They do prefer Feijóo to get along with Abascal (54.8%) rather than with Sánchez (37.3%). This coalition consigns more support among the younger voters than among the older ones, although all age groups bet first on the left-wing alliance and then on the PP-PSOE grand coalition.

Feijóo does not stop summoning the PSOE during the campaign to facilitate the investiture if you are so concerned that Vox is the arbiter of the political board. Indeed, the 53.4% of Spaniards would prefer that the Socialists help the PP to save it from the networks of the extreme right, in the face of a 30.2% which rejects this possibility. But it is that half of their own PSOE voters (51.8%) and half of the Sumar voters (52.2%) would agree to invest Feijóo to avoid Vox. However, 35% of socialist voters and 43% of Sumar voters do not like the idea. As for those related to the PP, six out of 10 prefer to get along with the PSOE and one in four bet on Vox.

Although it does not generate so many antibodies, the possibility that Sumar continues in the Government leads to 46.5% of the Spaniards to prefer that the PP invest Sánchez if he wins to prevent a pact with Yolanda Díaz. 35.4% of those interviewed reject this option, which, on the other hand, is liked by half of PSOE voters (49.7%), supporters of knocking on Feijóo’s door before Díaz’s. Three out of 10 socialist voters do prefer Sumar. In it PP electorate57.3% would agree with helping Sánchez if he wins the elections compared to 32.3% who would slam the current president.
