Stepping strong. Sumar breaks into the monthly barometer of the Center for Sociological Research (CIS), which in this April’s edition grants a 10.6% vote intention to Yolanda Díaz’s platform at the cost of the collapse of Podemos and a important cut also to the PSOE.
According to the figures of the body chaired by José Félix Tezanos, the PSOE would continue to be the first political force today with 30.4%, but it would lose 2.3 points compared to a month ago. The Popular Party achieved 26.1%, almost two points below the March barometer. Vox grows one point, to 11.1%, and Unidas Podemos loses a third of its voting intention and goes from 10% to 6.7% in just four weeks. Ciudadanos continues to recover tenths and would now obtain 2.8%.
Despite the fragmentation, the CIS numbers continue to place the left bloc at the head: the sum of PSOE, Sumar and Unidas Podemos is 47.7%. That of PP and Vox, on the contrary, is 37.2%, more than ten points below.
Vox, with this poll, recovers and shields itself as the third party thanks to the division between Podemos and Sumar. Díaz’s project also surpasses the purple ones, who go from being the third to the fifth national force in two barometers. Ciudadanos has been earning one tenth a week for two months and has recovered to February levels, when the public body gave 2.8% to the Liberal Party.
This is the first survey carried out by the public body since the launch of Sumar, the platform of Vice President Yolanda Díaz, and since Podemos launched its criticism against Tezanos for “manipulating” the last survey to harm the purple.
The field work was carried out during the first two weeks of April, in the middle of an internal battle in the Government for the reform of the law of only yes is yes and with the division already evident between Yolanda Díaz and the ministers of United We Can.
In the March calculations, the CIS gave the PSOE 37.2% of voting intentions, the PP 28% and Vox recovered the third position with 10.1% over Unidas Podemos, which stood at 10%. Ciudadanos recovered a few tenths to stand at 2.4%.
