ERC is close behind on 11.1%, while Junts is seventh on 2.6%. For Barcelona residents, the survey is an early measure of the city’s political balance rather than an election result. It shows a narrow PSC lead over ERC, alongside a marked fall in direct support for Junts and the appearance of Aliança Catalana ahead of it in the ranking. The barometer figures, reported by [El País](https://elpais.com/espana/catalunya/2026-07-10/collboni-ganaria-las-elecciones-hoy-en-barcelona-y-junts-se-desplomaria-hasta-la-septima-posicion-segun-el-barometro-municipal.html?ref=barna.news), measure respondents’ stated party preference. They do not provide a projection of council seats. ## PSC leads ERC in direct voting intention The Partit dels Socialistes de Catalunya (PSC), Collboni’s party, records 13% direct voting intention. Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC), the pro-independence Republican Left of Catalonia, follows with 11.1%. Barcelona en Comú, the left-wing municipal platform previously led by Ada Colau, is third on 4.7%. The survey places Aliança Catalana, described by El País as a far-right party, fourth on 3.3%. - PSC: 13% - ERC: 11.1% - Barcelona en Comú: 4.7% - Aliança Catalana: 3.3% - Partido Popular (PP): 3.1% - Vox: 2.7% - Junts: 2.6% - Candidatura d’Unitat Popular (CUP): 2.3% --- ## Large share of respondents remain undecided The poll also records substantial uncertainty: 45.1% of those surveyed either did not know which party they would support or did not answer the question. A further 9.8% said they would abstain. Junts recently selected Jordi Martí as its candidate, according to the report. Its 2.6% direct voting-intention figure compares with the 13.5% obtained by Xavier Trias’s candidacy in the last municipal election. Barcelona en Comú’s 4.7% also trails its 11.9% result in 2023\. The party is expected to be led in the next election by Gerardo Pisarello, the report said. When asked who they believed would remain mayor, 30.8% named Collboni. The same proportion said they wanted him to be mayor, while no listed rival reached 1% in the question on who was likely to hold the post. --- *Reported by Alfonso L.
