More than 10 years have passed since CIS stopped asking Spaniards their opinion on the Monarchy. Since then, this perception has only been known through polling companies. One of them, Cluster 17, conducted a survey for Agenda Pública that reflects broad support from citizens for the work done by King Felipe VI, 12 years after his proclamation.

According to the survey, 58% of Spaniards consider good or very good the way the head of State is performing his functions, while 35% consider his performance bad or very bad.

Among supporters of the monarch, 37% define his performance as good and 21.1% as very good. Among detractors, 19.8% classify it as bad and 14.6% as very bad.
