Sánchez's Fate Uncertain: New Poll Reveals 46% Believe He'll Resign

Spain: Sánchez's Resignation Odds Rise Amidst Scandals, GAD3 Poll Reveals Amidst a series of scandals impacting the Spanish government, a new GAD3 poll commissioned by Mediaset Spain reveals a significant shift in public opinion regarding Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's future. The poll, conducted in May 2025, shows a near-even split in public sentiment, with 46% of respondents believing Sánchez will resign and 45% believing he will not. This represents a notable development, particularly given the context of ongoing investigations and public criticism. The poll's findings are further underscored by an analysis of public perception of the political situation. While the majority still view the situation negatively (52% in May 2025, down slightly from 55% in February), the decrease suggests a potential shift in public sentiment. This is particularly relevant given the scandals involving high-ranking officials within Sánchez's government. "The poll's results highlight the uncertainty surrounding the Prime Minister's position," commented a political analyst from the El País newspaper. "While a majority still disapprove of the government's handling of recent events, the near-even split on the resignation question indicates a level of public indecision." The poll's results add another layer of complexity to the already tense political landscape in Spain, and the coming weeks will likely prove crucial in determining the Prime Minister's fate and the future direction of the government.
