It's not the survey, it's the surveyor

Surveys reflect public opinion at a specific moment but can be manipulated for political ends. Pedro Sánchez's government has allegedly used the CIS, led by José Félix Tezanos, to shape public discourse rather than gauge genuine concerns. This manipulation aims to maintain a favorable image of the government amidst criticism. Additionally, new pollsters prioritize spectacle over accuracy, echoing historical critiques of sophists who distorted truth for profit. With elections approaching, the government is mobilizing resources to influence public sentiment, while unions face declining trust among citizens, as highlighted by CIS surveys.
