¿Cómo influye la polarización política en la percepción de las causas y consecuencias de las inundaciones de la DANA?

A pesar de la polarización política, existe un consenso generalizado sobre la eficacia de la respuesta del gobierno valenciano y de su presidente, Carlos Mazón, con puntuaciones negativas similares entre votantes de izquierda y derecha. Este descontento se extiende también a la actuación del gobierno nacional y del PP a nivel nacional, aunque con menor intensidad entre sus propios votantes.
