Criteria's 2025 survey shows Kast with a 30% voting intention, ahead of Jara in a possible second round. Cadem's poll suggests a statistical tie between Kast and Jara in the first round, with Kast leading by 13 points in the runoff. Political figures have expressed varying views: Rodrigo Galilea, president of the RN party, reaffirmed support for Evelyn Matthei; Javier Etcheberry criticized Jeannette Jara for her stance on security issues; Luis Silva stated he would work with Kast if elected; and other political personalities reflected on their careers and experiences. The polls underscore Kast's current advantage in voter preference as the election approaches.
