Zapatero seven points ahead in the polls.


Spain's biggest radio station has given PSOE a seven points difference over PP in their weekly 'Pulsometro' poll.
PSOE gains half a point from last week's poll to a total of 45% of the decided vote. PP's share of the decided vote stays unchanged on 38%.
According to the same poll, Zapatero's popularity is gone up to 5,24 points while Rajoy's is gone down to 3.9 points, one of its lowest since the 2004 elections.

This is all good news for PSOE especially after the last few weeks when the commuter train system in Catalonia was severly disrupted and its regional Parliament called for the sacking of the Minister for Transport. Catalonia being ,together with Andalucia, a crucial stronghold where PSOE has to mobilise its vote to win.
There are fears within Ferraz (PSOE HQ) that clear majorities in polling and continuing disruptions in key electoral constituencies could discourage the PSOE electorate to come out to vote. They are right, it is time to highlight the crucial times Spain is living and mobilise the left-wing vote across the country.
