Barcelona’s Year-End City Barometer Puts Collboni First as Far Right Gains Ground

An unusually large undecided vote leaves the fragmented race wide open.

Overview

  • Direct voting intention places PSC at 12.1%, followed by ERC at 7.8% and Barcelona en Comú at 6.9%, with Aliança Catalana at 3.9% overtaking Junts at 3.4% and Vox at 2.1%.
  • Undecided voters account for about 43% of responses, and the survey reports raw vote intention without projecting council seats.
  • Housing tops public concerns at 32.8% and insecurity at 25.2%, with cleanliness at 6.8%, immigration-related issues at 6%, and tourism at 4.1%.
  • Leader ratings show Jaume Collboni at 5.2, tied with ERC’s Elisenda Alamany and JuntsJordi Martí Galbis, based on 803 telephone interviews conducted in mid to late November.
  • Respondents express strong support for tougher incivism sanctions (~90%), a Diagonal tram connection (71.8%), limits on cruise calls (63.4%), and cooperation with Palestinian cities (64.3%), as Deputy Mayor Laia Bonet warns about rising far-right discourse and urges a responsible opposition.
