El País presents a daily average of electoral polls for the general elections of 2026, integrating results from various polling institutes. This average is not a prediction or projection, but rather a synthesis of actual data collected during the election process.
The construction of the average considers as main criteria methodological transparency, accuracy in past results, and minimal bias in the instruments used by each poll. These characteristics allow assigning greater weight to those polling institutions whose processes are clearer and verifiable.
Each day, El País updates its table with figures available up to that point, offering the public direct access to all officially published surveys. Additionally, it allows users to build their own customized average through an interactive tool available on the media outlet's website.
The content is based exclusively on official data from registered polls conducted by independent institutes. No inferences are made about future electoral behavior nor judgments issued regarding possible outcomes. Variations between polling organizations do not necessarily imply differences in final results, but rather reflect different methodologies and population samples.
There are no statements about general trends or election forecasts that are not directly supported by the data presented. Any statement attributed to a political group or candidate comes solely from the original content of the surveys, without any additional interpretation.
