  • Only 27% support Leitão for the Lisbon City Council leadership.

Carlos Moedas vs. Alexandra Leitão: Who's the Competent Choice for Lisbon?

A recent national poll conducted by Intercampus reveals that 46.2% of respondents believe Carlos Moedas is more competent than Alexandra Leitão to lead the Lisbon City Council. In stark contrast, only 27% of those surveyed feel that the socialist candidate has the necessary skills to govern the largest city council in the country.

In Porto, the poll shows a different trend, favoring Manuel Pizarro, the former Minister of Health, over the Social Democrat Pedro Duarte, who has yet to confirm his candidacy for the municipal elections.

Although this poll sampled a national audience, it’s essential to note that insights regarding how Lisbon and Porto residents would vote should not be directly extrapolated. However, with 638 interviews conducted, the findings suggest a higher likelihood of Moedas being re-elected as the president of the Lisbon council, while a victory for Leitão appears less probable in the upcoming autumn elections.

In Porto, the dynamics shift, as Manuel Pizarro is viewed as the more competent candidate by 29% of respondents, while Pedro Duarte garners support from 26%.

The poll also assessed who respondents believe will ultimately win the elections. Over 54% anticipate that Moedas will be re-elected (with only 22% favoring Leitão), while nearly 29% believe Pizarro will come out on top, compared to 24.5% for Duarte.
