Pedro Sánchez leads in the election interviews of Jordi Wild. His conversation reaches 6.3 million views in the analyzed cut, compared with 5.5 million for Alberto Núñez Feijóo and 3.5 million for Ada Colau. Between the three of them, they bring together 15.3 million playbacks.
The gap between the head of the Government and the leader of the PP is around 800,000 views. Sánchez also tops the "likes" in absolute terms, although Colau holds first place when calculating how many of those interactions each interview obtains per thousand playbacks.
There are two different rankings: one measures the cumulative volume; the other, a ratio between interactions and playbacks. Neither lets you know on its own who has convinced more voters.
Sánchez changes the order in the first hours
The ranking has changed with respect to the first count published by Demócrata. At the time, Feijóo led in playbacks, ahead of Colau and of Sánchez, whose conversation had been the last to be released.
Now Sánchez is positioned ahead of both. With the rounded figures from the new cut, his interview accumulates approximately 14.5% more views than Feijóo’s.
Colau remains in third position by volume, two million behind the president of the PP. The distance describes the circulation of the videos, but it does not allow concluding that her participation had a negative electoral effect.
How many views and "likes" does each interview have
The count includes approximately 329,000 "likes": 138,000 for Sánchez, 108,000 for Feijóo, and 83,000 for Colau.
The following table incorporates an additional calculation: the number of "likes" per each 1,000 views. It allows comparing that specific interaction without confusing the total size of each video with its proportion of responses.
| Candidate | Accumulated views | Likes | Likes per 1,000 views |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pedro Sánchez | 6.3 million | 138,000 | 21.9 |
| Alberto Núñez Feijóo | 5.5 million | 108,000 | 19.6 |
| Ada Colau | 3.5 million | 83,000 | 23.7 |

Colau leads in the proportion of "likes"
Colau’s interview earns about 23.7 “likes” per thousand plays. Sánchez records 21.9 and Feijóo, 19.6.
Expressed as a percentage, the ratio is approximately 2.37% for Colau, 2.19% for Sánchez, and 1.96% for Feijóo. This ranking places the Frente Amplio candidate ahead despite having the lowest number of views of the three.
The indicator has limited reach. It is not an approval poll, it does not measure all interactions, and it also does not reveal why someone clicks “like”: it may reflect valuing the guest, the interviewer, an answer, or the conversation as a whole.
It does allow for a precise conclusion: in this snapshot, Colau’s video gathers more “likes” in relation to its play count.
Who wins and who is left behind
Sánchez leads in two figures: accumulated views and total “likes.” Feijóo retains second place in both, although he has lost the first position he held in the initial count.
Colau is third by volume and first in the proportion of “likes.” Talking about a single winner or a single loser would hide that difference.
The absence of Santiago Abascal raises another issue. The leader of Vox ultimately did not participate in the special, so there is no equivalent interview with which to compare his performance. That absence kept him out of the published conversations, but the counters do not allow calculating whether the decision cost him votes.
The order among the three participants also cannot be considered definitive. To study who maintains higher growth, it would be necessary to compare two records taken at known times and with the same interval. Increases without a common time reference are not enough to project the final outcome.
Fifteen million views are not fifteen million people
The sum of the three videos measures plays, not a single combined unique audience. The same person can watch all three interviews or return to a conversation more than once.
YouTube distinguishes views from its estimate of unique users. It also separates the unique user of a video from the unique user of the channel: someone who watches several pieces may appear in the individual audience of each one, even if it is only one person within the set.
Without the channel’s internal data, it is not possible to determine how many different people have followed the special, how long they have been watching each interview, or how many have reached the end.
Therefore, the figure of 15.3 million expresses the accumulated volume of reproductions of the three conversations. It does not certify 15.3 million different viewers.
Jordi Wild vs. television: what viewer figures say
Television political interviews offer a reference point to gauge interest, although they use a different measure.
Sánchez’s visit to La Revuelta on October 22 recorded 4,387,000 viewers on average. Abascal’s on November 9 reached 4,815,000, while Colau’s the following day obtained 3,050,000.
| Content | Figure | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Sánchez with Jordi Wild | 6.3 million | Accumulated views in the analyzed cut |
| Feijóo with Jordi Wild | 5.5 million | Accumulated views in the analyzed cut |
| Colau with Jordi Wild | 3.5 million | Accumulated views in the analyzed cut |
| Sánchez on La Revuelta · October 22 | 4,387,000 | Viewers on average during the television broadcast |
| Abascal on La Revuelta · November 9 | 4,815,000 | Viewers on average during the television broadcast |
| Colau on La Revuelta · November 10 | 3,050,000 | Viewers on average during the television broadcast |
These are different metrics and do not constitute a joint ranking. YouTube accumulates reproductions; the average television audience estimates the average number of viewers during the broadcast. Television data published by RTVE and EFE.
The 6.3 million of Sánchez’s video numerically surpass the 4.387 million average audience figures for his visit to Broncano. But that does not prove that more people watched it with Jordi Wild: RTVE said that that broadcast reached more than 7.1 million unique viewers.
Television also generates subsequent consumption on the internet. In the report published the day after Sánchez’s visit, RTVE counted 38.42 million views on social media linked to the program. That figure included posts distributed across different platforms, not exclusively a complete interview. The Sánchez–Feijóo head-to-head in July 2023 also shows the difference between the measures: it gathered 5,911,000 viewers on average and 11,357,000 unique viewers, according to Barlovento’s report with data from Kantar.
