The PP would win the elections in Aragón without improving, the PSOE would collapse and Vox could double its seats

Recent polling indicates that the PP is positioned to win the upcoming elections in Aragón, likely benefiting from a decline in support for the PSOE, while Vox is expected to see significant seat gains.

In the lead-up to the 2026 regional elections in Aragón, recent surveys suggest that the People's Party (PP) is on track to secure a victory, despite minimal gains compared to previous elections. Participation rates have increased to 56.29% by 18:00, indicating heightened voter engagement over prior elections. Notably, demographic shifts and concerns about immigration are shifting voter sentiment towards the right, particularly benefiting both the PP and Vox.

The latest Sigma Dos poll for EL MUNDO reveals that the PP is projected to garner 35.9% of the vote, a slight increase of just four-tenths from their performance in the previous elections held in May 2023. Despite this expected win, the decline of support for the Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) would not translate to significant gains for the PP, making them even more reliant on their right-wing counterpart, Vox. This dependence raises questions about the political landscape in Aragón and the potential influence Vox may exert.

Furthermore, regions like Teruel, with a strong 'Aragonese' sentiment, could play a crucial role in shaping the electoral outcome. As communities face issues of resource depletion and the closure of newly built hospitals, these local concerns may galvanize voters towards parties promising to address these grievances. Overall, the evolving dynamics in Aragón reflect broader national trends and underscore the complexities of regional governance as the right-wing coalition strategies unfold.
