The CIS conducted its monthly barometer with the usual questions about voting intentions, assessments of leaders and ministers, as well as the commemoration of the 600th anniversary of the Roma people on the Iberian Peninsula, and the European Union's proposal that households be able to survive for 72 hours without external assistance. In April, the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) is projected to reach 32.6% of the estimated vote, while the Popular Party is projected to obtain 26.1%. VOX (Voice of Spain) is projected to obtain 15.2%, Sumar (Sumar) 6.2%, and Podemos (We Can) 4%. The Party's Over is projected to obtain 1.9%. Assessment of political leaders and preference as president Pedro Sánchez is the highest-rated political leader with an average score of 4.10, followed by Yolanda Díaz with 3.91; Alberto Núñez Feijóo with 3.78; and Santiago Abascal with 2.85. Regarding preference for Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez is the favorite for 40.4% of those surveyed, 24.3 points ahead of Alberto Núñez Feijóo (16.1%), Santiago Abascal (12.9%), Isabel Díaz Ayuso (10.3%), and Yolanda Díaz (5.8%). Anniversary of the Roma people in Spain On the occasion of the declaration of 2025 as the Year of the Roma People, marking 600 years of their presence on the Iberian Peninsula, the April barometer, coinciding with the celebration of April 8 as International Roma Day, includes a series of questions on knowledge of the history and culture of the Roma people, their symbols of identity, and cultural contributions, among others. The questions were developed jointly by the CIS and the Fundación Secretariado Gitano (FSG), as part of a collaboration that seeks to measure the knowledge and perception that Spanish society has of the Roma people. 24.1% say they know "a lot or quite a bit" about the history and culture of the Roma people, while 74.8% say they know "little or nothing." A further 66.5% believe that the history and culture of the Roma people should be included in the history curriculum during compulsory education, from ages 6 to 16. 53.3% of respondents say the Roma people have contributed "a lot or quite a bit" to Spanish culture, but 37.2% say "little or nothing." Regarding the areas in which the Roma people have contributed the most, 95.2% believe it is flamenco; 90.8% believe it is music in general; and 45.5% believe it is language (expressions, words, etc.). European Union 55.4% strongly or somewhat agree with the EU proposal that households should have a stockpile of water, medicines, batteries, and food to survive for 72 hours without external assistance in the event of aggression, cyberattacks, natural disasters, or imminent threats. In contrast, 39.4% strongly or somewhat disagree with this idea. 69.2% of Spaniards say their household is prepared to survive 72 hours without outside help, while 29% say it is not. Furthermore, 82.7% say their home has a "basic emergency kit" to handle a difficult situation for 72 hours, whether fully equipped (33.2%) or partially equipped (49.5%). Another 16.4% say they do not. 72.2% believe the Spanish government should distribute a survival manual to households with clear instructions on how to respond to emergencies such as attacks, cyberattacks, natural disasters, or threats. Problems in Spain The main problem currently facing Spain, according to those surveyed, is housing (28.8%), followed by the economic crisis, which is the main problem for 20.1%, and unemployment in third place for 18.5%. When asked about the problems that personally affect respondents, the economic crisis and economic problems are in first place for 28.3%, healthcare in second place (22.2%) and housing in third place for 19.8%. Economic situation 67.9% of Spaniards consider their current personal financial situation to be very good or good, compared to 23.6% who say it is bad or very bad. When asked about Spain's overall economic situation, 36.4% consider it very good or good, compared to 56.2% who say it is very bad or bad. Council of Ministers Assessment The Minister of Economy, Trade, and Enterprise, Carlos Cuerpo, received the highest rating, scoring 5.10. The Minister of Social Rights, Consumption, and the 2030 Agenda, Pablo Bustinduy, received a score of 4.88; while the Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, received a score of 4.63. Differential treatment when applying the laws 72.1% of respondents believe that in Spain, when it comes to applying the law, differences are made depending on who is involved. While 24.7% believe that everyone is treated equally. These and other data are collected in the barometer conducted from April 1 to 8 with 4,009 interviews.

The CIS has conducted a study on opinions and attitudes toward the European Union, which asks about knowledge of the institutions, the degree of belonging to, and the level of trust one has in the EU. 40 years since Spain's Treaty of Accession 73.2% of Spaniards believe that EU membership has been "rather positive" for Spain, but 20.4% believe it has been "rather negative." In contrast, 3.6% believe it is "neither positive nor negative." On a personal level, the indicators are similar: 73.8% believe it has been "rather positive," and 20% "rather negative." Furthermore, 65.3% say they are "very or fairly satisfied with these 40 years of membership in the European Union," and 32.6% are "somewhat or not at all" satisfied. 70.2% of Spaniards admit that news about the EU interests them "a lot or quite a lot," while 28.4% are "a little or not at all." Regarding whether or not they are informed about matters related to the EU, 48.9% say they are "very or quite informed," and 50.3% say they are "a little or not at all." 85% of citizens agree that the decisions made in the EU affect us "a lot or quite a lot," while only 11.3% believe they affect us "a little or not at all." Regarding the sense of belonging, 47.6% admit they feel as much a "European citizen as a Spanish citizen," 41.6% primarily a "Spanish citizen," and 4.9% primarily a "European citizen." Better or worse for Spain 81% of Spaniards say that EU membership is "rather beneficial" for culture, 77.3% for business opportunities, 73.5% for Spain's global presence, and 73.3% for job opportunities. Conversely, 53% of Spaniards say it is "rather detrimental" to the prices of goods and consumption, 36% for wages, and 27.6% for the development of the most disadvantaged regions. European Institutions The European Parliament is the best-known institution among Spaniards (95.1%), followed by the European Central Bank (92.9%) and the European Commission in third place (86%). As for the trust generated by institutions, all pass, but the Council of the European Union leads the way with 5.92 out of 10, followed by the European Central Bank with 5.91, the European Commission with 5.86, the European Council with 5.83, and the European Parliament - which is the best known - is the worst rated with 5.62. Future of the EU 29.7% consider the economy and employment to be the most important issues for the future of Europe, followed by democracy, its values and the rule of law (19.9%) and social protection and the welfare state for 16.4%. 87.3% support a policy of common rights and obligations in the EU, 81.7% agree that the common European foreign policy should be strengthened, and 78.4% believe that financial contributions should be made to fund a European welfare state. Fiscal policy in the EU 77.1% of respondents "strongly or somewhat agree" with the idea that those with the most wealth in the EU should pay more taxes, while 26.8% "slightly or not at all agree." Furthermore, 69.5% agree "strongly or somewhat" with the European Union agreeing on common fiscal rules for all member countries, while 27.1% agree "slightly or not at all." Here in Spain On the other hand, 71.2% strongly or somewhat agree that "The taxes we Spaniards pay should be the same throughout the country, regardless of the autonomous community of residence." While 26.8% disagree. Regarding Spain's public resources, 81.7% of respondents believe that "too few" resources are allocated to housing, 78.5% say that too few resources are allocated to scientific research, and 77.5% to healthcare. These and other data are collected in this study conducted from June 25 to 30 with 2,427 interviews.
