How this is worked out

For each past election we take every national voting-intention poll published in the fortnight either side of the same point (three weeks, or five where polls were sparse), average each pollster's polls, then average the pollsters. Sumar's line is Unidas Podemos in 2019.

Polls: Opinion polling for the April 2019 Spanish general election, Opinion polling for the November 2019 Spanish general election, Opinion polling for the 2023 Spanish general election, Wikipedia, under CC BY-SA 4.0. Results: the national electoral authorities. Today: our poll average, updated with every poll.
