PÚBLICO and RTP publish a poll ahead of the 8 February presidential run-off between António José Seguro and André Ventura. The coverage situates the run-off within broader party shifts evident in recent legislative elections, arguing this realignment may be irreversible and that both the PS and PSD must rethink strategies to stay politically relevant. Commentators note a widespread lack of conviction in either candidate’s stated values — framing abstention as a responsible choice for some voters — and CNN Portugal’s João Marcelino interprets Marques Mendes’s endorsement of Seguro as signalling the PSD leadership’s and prime minister’s tactical aims for the run-off.
