- Spain General Election: PSOE gains seats?24¢24 %
Recent polling averages project the PSOE winning around 112–114 seats in the November 29, 2026 snap election, down from its 121 seats in 2023. Most surveys place the party’s vote share near 27%, with the conservative PP leading on roughly 30–31% and Vox on 18–19%. Seat models show the PP–Vox bloc reaching or exceeding the 176-seat majority threshold in the vast majority of simulations, while PSOE’s traditional investiture partners on the left remain fragmented and unlikely to deliver enough support for gains. Key drivers include sustained voter movement toward the right amid housing affordability pressures, cost-of-living concerns, and regional issues in strongholds such as Andalucía. The left’s inability to unify behind a single list—exemplified by the Broad Front’s separate effort from other progressive groups—has further diluted PSOE’s potential ceiling. Sánchez’s decision to call the early vote after parliamentary defeats on housing decrees has not reversed these trends in private polling, though the state-run CIS remains an outlier favoring the Socialists. With the official campaign underway and consistent private-survey evidence pointing to a net seat loss for PSOE, traders assign a high probability to the “No” outcome.
