Official campaign for Nov. 29 election opens Nov. 13; private polls give PP and Vox 190-200 seats, CIS has PSOE ahead
The official campaign for Spain's Nov. 29 election opens on Nov. 13. Private polls compiled by Reuters put the PP at about 31-32%, the PSOE at 25-26% and Vox at 18-20%; SocioMetrica projects about 200 seats for PP and Vox combined, Sigma Dos 199 and 40dB about 190, all above the 176-seat majority. In the 40dB poll the PP's lead over the Socialists narrowed to about two points. The state-run CIS, by contrast, has the PSOE on 34.0% and the PP on 22.2%. The PP would need Vox to govern, and Sanchez and Feijoo face off in a one-on-one TV debate on Nov. 16.

Sanchez announces snap election for 29 November, euro at 17-month low
A housing bill was defeated and Junts withdrew its support, leading to a general election on 29 November. A People's Party (PP)-Vox coalition is likely. The euro fell 0.5–0.6% to its lowest since May 2025, and Spanish bond spreads widened.
