Despite efforts from far-right parties attempting to capitalize on recent mass migration events in Ceuta to boost their electoral appeal, the PSOE has maintained a steady lead of over five percentage points. According to the survey results, if elections were held today, the PSOE would receive approximately 31% of the vote, compared to the PP's anticipated 25.5% and the Vox party's 16.6%.
