Three out of five Spaniards believe that amnesty is only promoted by investiture

On the other hand, only half of socialist voters approve of the grace measure and one in three reject it.

Indeed, three out of five interviewees prefer a repeat election in January for the PSOE to reach an agreement with the independence movement, a scenario that only one of the three interviewees chose. Among the voters of PP and Vox there is almost a consensus about predilection to go to the polls again. On the contrary, 53.4%​​​​​​​​ and 67.5% of those polled who support Sánchez and Díaz respectively in the July elections are in favor of having an agreement with the pro-independence forces.
