Centro de Estudios Andaluces (Centra)

The Centro de Estudios Andaluces (Centra) is a public foundation that conducts and publishes studies on Andalusian society. It is newsworthy because its recent public opinion barometer, released in April 2026, projects that the Partido Popular (PP) could maintain its absolute majority in the upcoming Andalusian elections. The barometer estimates the PP could win between 54 and 57 seats, with the absolute majority threshold at 55 seats. This projection is significant as it comes just weeks before the election campaign begins, influencing public perception and potentially impacting voter turnout. The Andalusian elections were called by the President of the Junta de Andalucia, Juan Manuel Moreno, for May 17th, making Centra's pre-election polling data highly relevant and closely watched by political analysts and the public.
