Expert Analysis:

• Political analyst Pedro Tenorio attributes these findings to the negative perceptions of Pedro Castillo and Dina Boluarte's administrations, and the perceived failures of left-leaning groups in Congress.

• Both analysts agree that the current figures might change before the election, given a substantial portion of the population remains undecided.
