The CIS has conducted a study on the attitudes and demands of Andalusians, addressing issues such as floods, the management of the Andalusian Government, the problems that exist in Andalusia and the upcoming regional elections, among other topics. 26.6% of Andalusians acknowledge that they have been “very or quite affected” by the successive storms and floods that have hit Andalusia, compared to 71.8% who say they have been affected “little or not at all.” Furthermore, 66.3% believe that the number or intensity of these floods are related to climate change, while 21.6% consider it an “isolated event.” 60.8% of those surveyed say that the Community is “little or not at all prepared” to deal with this type of storm, 32% say that it is “very or quite prepared” and 3.9% say that it is “fairly prepared”. Likewise, 48.4% consider that the coordination between municipalities, the autonomous community and the central government has been “very or quite adequate” in the face of the consequences of the floods, and 43.2% say that it has been “not very or not at all adequate”. Public healthcare: the main problem for Andalusians 26.5% of those surveyed indicated that the Government of Andalusia should take the initiative in Public Health as a challenge in the coming years, secondly, the issue they mention most is the prevention of risks and catastrophes (12.6%) and, thirdly, infrastructure (11.1%). According to Andalusians, the main problem in the region is healthcare (38%), followed by housing (22.8%) and unemployment (21.7%). Even young people aged 18 to 24 and 35 to 44 identify healthcare as the main problem (30.9% and 33% respectively), above housing (26.1% and 24.7%). When asked about the problems that affect them personally, healthcare remains the top concern, but it has risen to 40.7%, a 23.5-point difference from housing at 17.2%, with infrastructure ranking third at 16.4%. For young people aged 18 to 24, housing is their biggest personal problem, as indicated by 32.6%. Among those who mention some type of problem in the Autonomous Community, 25.2% say that the PP is the party that maintains a position closest to their own regarding these concerns, 21.4% say it is the PSOE, 8.8% say it is VOX and 5.3% say Adelante Andalucía. Management of the regional government and the central government 40.2% consider that the overall management carried out by the Government of Andalusia in the last four years has been “very good or good”; 32.9% say “fair” and on the other hand, 25.8% believe that the management has been “bad or very bad”. Regarding the work of the central government, 23.3% say it has been “very good or good”, 26.1% say it has been “fair” and 49.6% say it has been “bad or very bad”. Flood management 59% believe the Andalusian Regional Government's handling of the floods has been "very good or good," 25.6% that it has been "fair," and only 12.8% that it has been "bad or very bad." Regarding the Spanish Government's response to the floods, 33.6% consider it to have been "very good or good," 24.7% that it has been "fair," and 37.9% that it has been "bad or very bad." Andalusian leaders The leader of the People's Party (PP), Juan Manuel Moreno, is the highest rated with a score of 5.87, followed by the leader of Adelante Andalucía, José Ignacio García (4.82). In third place is the coordinator of United Left (IU), Antonio Maíllo, who achieves a score of 4.73, and in fourth position is the leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), María Jesús Montero (3.93); the leader of Vox comes in last place with a score of 3.32. When asked who they prefer to be the president of the Andalusian Government, 40.9% say they prefer Juan Manuel Moreno, 17.5% prefer María Jesús Montero, 5.6% prefer Antonio Maíllo; and 5.5% prefer José Antonio García. Qualities of leaders The leader of the People's Party (PP) is considered the most open to dialogue by 47% of Andalusians, the best prepared to govern by 45.7%, and the most reliable by 42.3%. Regarding the leader of the Socialist Party (PSOE), 21.3% believe she is prepared to govern, 18.3% say she is the most open to dialogue, and 16.5% consider her the most reliable. Regarding the qualities a president of Andalusia should have to govern, 46.4% believe that Juan Manuel Moreno has the "management skills and competence" and 23.7% say that María Jesús Montero has the same skills. 39.7% say that Moreno has a "vision for the future" and 19% believe that Montero also has one. Regarding the management of the current president of the Junta, Juan Manuel Moreno, the Andalusians rate it with an average of 5.79 out of 10. Regional elections 44.2% acknowledge that the main reason they choose a party is "because it is the one that best represents their ideas", 32.8% say that the reason for their choice is because "it is the party that is most capable of managing in the autonomous community", and 30.9% say that it is because of "the economic and social situation". Furthermore, 65% say that when voting in the next regional elections they will do so thinking about issues specific to Andalusia, compared to 27.5% who will do so thinking about general issues in Spain. These and other data are collected in the study 'Attitudes and demands of Andalusians after the floods' carried out from March 12 to 26 with 6,016 interviews.
