Spanish voters increasingly divided
--------------------------------------
Recent polls suggest Spain’s second election this year is unlikely to give the ruling Socialists the boost in seats they are hoping for and will do little to resolve the political stalemate
--------------------------------------
*El País poll of polls, Oct 29. Most polls taken after jailing of nine Catalan independence leaders that sparked mass protests in Catalonia
--------------------------------------
Since outbreak of protests, polls indicate declining support for Socialists and boost for PP and Vox – right-wing parties that want stronger stance against separatism
