Spanish polling shows opposition right ahead as public distrust in separation of powers grows
A recent poll shows Spain's right-wing opposition exceeding 50% support, while two-thirds of citizens report doubts over the separation of powers.
A new survey indicates a drop in public support for Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as his government enters the final stretch of its legislative term. According to recent polling, combined support for right-wing opposition parties has surpassed 50 percent, marking a significant political shift.
The survey also highlights widespread concern over governance and democratic institutions, with two-thirds of respondents indicating they believe the separation of powers is currently not being respected in Spain. Notably, 61 percent of voters who previously supported Sánchez's ruling Socialist party shared this view. Meanwhile, the cabinet continues to defend past policy decisions amid persistent debate regarding executive power.
