Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez arrives to address the 78th Session of the U.N. General Assembly in New York City, U.S., September 20, 2023.
Most parties - except PSOE - and rival private pollsters have questioned the agency's neutrality and methodology.
The new poll gives third place to the left-wing alliance Sumar at 11.9% and fourth to the far-right Vox with 11.1%.
Should those efforts to woo the pro-independence parties prove to be unsuccessful, a repeat election would be held in mid-January.
