A new El Mundo poll shows falling support for Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and the ruling PSOE amid corruption allegations and institutional concerns.

A recent opinion poll published by El Mundo indicates a sharp drop in public support for Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and the ruling Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE). According to the survey, two-thirds of Spaniards believe the separation of powers is not being respected in the country, a sentiment shared by 61% of PSOE voters.

The party lost eight projected parliamentary seats over the past month following legal developments involving party figures, including the indictment of former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and the "Leire Díez case." Additionally, support among Generation Z voters has declined significantly, dropping the party to third place among younger demographics and marking Sánchez's lowest approval rating of the year within that age group.
