Podemos, a Spanish anti-austerity group set up less than a year ago, surged past Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s People’s Party to claim the lead in an El Pais opinion poll a year before Spain’s next general election is due.
Support for Podemos jumped to 28 percent from 14 percent a month earlier, El Pais said today on its website. The main opposition Socialists were second with 26 percent compared with 31 percent in October, while the PP plunged from 30 percent to 21 percent.
