Socialists vote share increases to 30 pct, Vox surge to 6.5 pct: Poll study

Spain's far-right political party Vox saw support surge from just a month earlier while the ruling Socialists remained in the lead, according to a voting intention poll released on Thursday. The CIS poll showed relative newcomers Vox would win 6.5 per cent of the vote, putting them in fifth place, up from 3.7 per cent forecast in the poll carried out in December.

The official poll by the Centre for Sociological Studies (CIS) showed the ruling Socialists would win an election if it were held today with 29.9 per cent of the vote, up from 28.9 per cent when the poll was taken last month.
