Tezanos terminates the “Feijóo effect”

The president of the Center for Sociological Research (CIS), José Félix Tezanos, has ended the “honeymoon” of the electorate with the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, since he considers that people have seen that “he has made mistakes” and that he does not have “the necessary knowledge” to lead. For this reason, he defends the CIS polls that give the victory of the PSOE and on Tuesday he blamed “prejudice” and “lack of information” for the criticism that the demographic institute has been receiving. What’s more, he has predicted that “in the next few days” there will be more studies that place the Socialists ahead of the PP in voting intentions. This is what he said at an informative breakfast at the ‘New Economy Forum’ in which he once again defended the “rigor” of the CIS and to underline that, like everyone else, he has an “ideology” but that he has “never” “falsified a piece of information”. “It is absurd, why falsify? Before a liar is caught than a lame “, he reviewed, emphasizing that “discussing surveys is putting yourself in a losing position” because they are only questioned by those who do not do well in them. In this context, he has insisted on contrasting the large samples and methods of the CIS with those of pollsters private companies that, for example, work with very small samples or resort to the method of volunteer panels to be interviewed who charge for it. More interviews than others”We do 4,000 interviews, that’s worth four surveys of the others”, he highlighted, the time he has reiterated that he probes them they are “valid” for the moment they are done, that sociologists are not “fortune tellers” and that reality is “dynamic and changing”. PSOE’s turn. That, he has pointed out, was also the case even though the previous leader of the PP, Pablo Casado, was ahead in other polls. “Someone in the PP realized that it was not like that and there were some changes,” he released. The head of the CIS has pointed out that in order to calculate the intention to vote, other factors must also be taken into account, such as the preference to preside over the government and the sympathies that each party awakens. The honeymoon is over After this reminder, he explained, the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, lived a “honeymoon moment” after his appointment and even the CIS placed him as the first strength in June but later suffered a “certain deterioration” in its image because there were people who realized that “it did not have the necessary knowledge to form certain leaderships” and made “several mistakes.” To this, in his opinion, was added the debate that he starred with Sánchez at the beginning of September in the Senate, similar to the one that he will face both again this Tuesday. In this context, he has anticipated that “in the coming days” there will be more polls along the lines of the one made public by the CIS on Monday, in which the PSOE strengthened its advantage over the PP. According to Tezanos, citizens are “very sensitive ” to “there are institutional agreements” and has dropped that a pact to renew the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) would help improve Feijóo’s image. “All the leaders who encourage that are going to win,” he commented. On the other hand, he has spoken of the influence that the pandemic, war and climate change may have on the next generals. In his opinion, given the “insecurity” derived from these recent episodes, citizens have once again called for “the protective role of the State” and have turned towards “social democratic positions.” Although he has admitted that “this does not guarantee any electoral results” he has explained that this climate has also been installed in Spanish public opinion at this time. plus those of the moderate left–, compared to the 30% that is placed on the right.”Imperfect bipartisanship?” to those most in need”, he added, highlighting that now it is requested to prioritize budget items for research and health against the infrastructures that were preferred before. Regarding the fall of Vox, which in the October barometer falls for the first time from 10% support and registers its worst data of the legislature, Tezanos has indicated that a trend of “return of votes” to the PP is detected, it continues to be “unifying” the right despite Feijóo’s “lowering prestige.” sign? Does that mean that we can go to an imperfect bipartisanship? We don’t know, there may be a useful voting trend,” he admitted, adding that on the right you can already see that because Ciudadanos “practically disappears” and Vox’s vote is transferred to the PP. “When there is concern, concern and people have Fear sometimes looks for strong leaders and security”, he asserted. Without electoral advanceOn the other hand, Tezanos has commented that he does not contemplate that Sánchez opt for an advance of the general elections and believes that the president, who enjoys an important “international role” will take advantage of the rotating Presidency of the European Union that corresponds to Spain in the second half of 2023. At another point in the colloquium, Tezanos has recognized that “there is something that does not go well” in the answers given by the interviewees about the economic situation, because while 73% disqualify her, 65% maintain that her personal finances are going well. “There is something wrong in the structuring of the opinion of Spanish society at this time,” she said, claiming that “states of opinion are created” and alluding to the “self-fulfilling prophecy” theory. In his opinion, the parties should “promote states of pride” instead of states of “twitching”
