Nothing out of the ordinary it seems, but yeah, 2 weeks old... with a situation as dynamic as covid, 2 weeks are a long time. Here in Germany, support for lockdown measures has eroded a lot over the last 2 weeks, and those who are arguing in favor of not forgetting civil liberties or economic concerns have gained a lot of steam. This is, of course, a result of our success in keeping the curve down - only because we are lucky to have such low numbers are we able to have these discussions.
The problem is the lack of alternatives.
All of the candidates of the 5 main parties get a failure rating (although Arrimadas is just 0,1 away from approval).
The main opposition party, PP, is the candidate that is least backed by his party's voters (with a score of only 6,1). The only reason he isn't the least approved candidate overall is because Iglesias and Abascal are on the extremists and will always get the lowest scores from people on opposite sides of the spectrum.
There seems to be a feeling that this government is useless, but there's no reason to believe there's much of a better alternative.
