In the run up to the 2000 Spanish general election, various organisations carried out opinion polling to gauge voting intention in Spain. Results of such polls are displayed in this article.
Contents
The date range for these opinion polls are from the previous general election, held on 3 March 1996, to the day the next election was held, on 12 March 2000.
Poll results
Poll results are listed in the tables below in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first, and using the date the survey's fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. If such date is unknown, the date of publication is given instead. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed in bold, and the background shaded in the leading party's colour. In the instance that there is a tie, then no figure is shaded. The lead column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the two parties with the highest figures. When a specific poll does not show a data figure for a party, the party's cell corresponding to that poll is shown empty.

Notes
PS Identifies multi-scenario opinion polls which hypothesize on a PSOE-IU pact. NS Identifies multi-scenario opinion polls which hypothesize on no specific scenario. AP Identifies alternative projections based on the poll's raw data, without attribution of 'shy voters' to PSOE. Projection was elaborated before the election, but not published until later. EF Identifies polling firms that explicitly show their top-line results projected over "all electorate" figures, that is, not excluding the calculated abstention rate. This is in contrast to "valid votes", which is the most frequent method of vote projection by opinion pollsters and which do account for blank ballots. In order to obtain data comparable to both the official results projected over "valid votes" as well as projections from other pollsters, a rule of three is applied, disregarding the projected abstention rate. The results of such calculation are shown instead.Seat projections
Opinion polls showing seat projections are displayed in the table below. The highest seat figures in each polling survey have their background shaded in the leading party's colour. In the instance that there is a tie, then no figure is shaded. 176 seats were required for an absolute majority in the Congress of Deputies.
