00:00In Spain, the Socialist Party PSOE has extended its lead to 11.8 points over the People's Party, PP, according
00:10to a poll released Wednesday by the Center for Sociological Research, CIS, in the midst of the pre-election campaign.
00:18The Center for Sociological Research put Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's party at 34%, nearly 12 percentage points ahead of the
00:26Popular Party, PP, compared with a 5.5% lead last month.
00:31Sánchez announced the November 29th election after Parliament rejected two government housing decrees amid public outrage and protested for the
00:39case of eviction of Mari Carmen Abascal, an 87-year-old woman forced out of the home she had rented
00:46for seven decades who died two weeks later.
00:49The survey findings contrast sharply with other polls, suggesting the Conservatives and far-right could win enough seats to govern
00:58together.
