The local executive's management in Alcalá de Henares, led by the pact between the PP and Vox, narrowly passes with an average score of 5.23. However, this figure contrasts with the perception of nearly half of respondents (49.8%), who believe the city is in a worse situation than three years ago. This poll, conducted for ALCALÁ HOY, paints a complex picture where the government's numerical rating does not translate into a widespread sense of improvement.
Mayor Judith Piquet receives a score of 5.11, very close to that of the Executive as a whole. This result suggests that the highest municipal official shares the wear associated with daily management. The approval margin is narrow, indicating that public opinion in Alcalá does not grant strong support to the municipal government's actions.
The survey reveals significant differences in ratings based on age and ideology. Younger segments tend to show a more favorable perception, while scores decrease with age. National political polarization is also reflected in Alcalá, with PP voters giving the best ratings and PSOE and Más Madrid electors expressing lower satisfaction.
The perception of the city's decline is more pronounced than the assessment of management. While 49.8% believe Alcalá is worse off, only 23.6% think it has improved, and 26.6% consider the situation unchanged. This sense of deterioration, affecting one in two residents, is built upon factors such as street conditions, cleanliness, mobility, and security.
Territorial analysis shows notable disparities. District II (Reyes Católicos) emerges as the most favorable to municipal management, registering the highest ratings. In contrast, District V (El Val) is the most critical, concentrating the highest disapproval. District I (Historic Center) also shows ratings below the city average.
Directly, 40.6% of respondents disapprove of the PP-Vox Government's performance, compared to 21.6% who approve. A broad segment (nearly 30%) declares neutrality. This distribution explains how the Executive can maintain an average passing score despite widespread criticism, thanks to the segment of neutral citizens.
Just over a year before the 2027 municipal elections, the data suggests an open scenario. The Government retains a relevant support base and a rating that avoids failure, but faces the challenge of reversing the public perception that Alcalá de Henares has worsened during the current term.
