New polls show Spain's right bloc nearing absolute majority

Politics Tuesday, October 6, 2026 · Updated Oct 6, 2026 12:41

A 40dB poll published Oct 6 puts the PP at 31.6 percent with PP plus Vox combined at 50 percent, and seat projections give the pair about 205 seats against the 176 needed for a majority.

Why it matters: Markets are pricing a right-wing government that would unwind Sanchez-era housing and labor intervention, with read-through to Spanish banks, utilities and peripheral bond spreads.

Data as of Polls published Oct 5-6, 2026; election scheduled November 29, 2026

Polling for Spain’s November 29 snap election is consolidating around a right-bloc majority. The 40dB survey published Oct 6 has the PP at 31.6 percent, with the combined PP-Vox vote share at 50 percent. Separate seat projections put the pair at roughly 205 seats in the 350-seat Congress, 29 above the 176-seat absolute majority. A separate survey reported the PP leading the PSOE by 7.6 points.

The campaign backdrop is the congressional rejection of Sanchez’s housing decrees that triggered the snap call. The Sumar “Broad Front” rebrand scheduled October 17 will test whether the fragmented left can coordinate. No major candidate announcement or coalition pact was reported overnight.

A PP-Vox government would end the EU’s last major Socialist administration, with direct implications for EU fiscal coordination. Spanish assets are already pricing the turnover.
