Recent polling averages project ERC at roughly 2.3% nationally and 8–9 seats in the November 29 general election, with ranges typically spanning 6–13. Trader pricing clusters on 8–11 seats because ERC’s core support remains concentrated in Catalonia, where competition from PSC, Junts, and Aliança Catalana, plus left-wing fragmentation between Frente Amplio and Podemos, creates volatility. Alliances extending ERC lists into Valencia and the Balearics, combined with the recent amnesty enabling symbolic candidacies for Junqueras and Romeva, have lifted some internal surveys toward 10 seats. The race stays close as small shifts in Catalan turnout or final-week national trends could move the party across the 9–10 seat threshold without altering the broader right-wing majority projected in most models.
