Labour shoots further up trust meter as PN still behind

Sep 5 2021

Prime Minister Robert Abela continues to bask in a 22 point lead over Nationalist Party leader Bernard Grech in the trust barometer. Despite the more recent findings of the Daphne Caruana Galizia public inquiry, the labour party has avoided any catastrophic trust damage as the survey head between 25th of August and 2nd September by MaltaToday shows. No survey was held in August, but the survey captures the overall trust in government following the inquiry and racking, but as of yet unconfirmed, rumours about a November general election.

Abela stands at a 51.5% trust rating, losing only 0.1 points since July. On the other hand, Opposition leader Grech scored 29.5%, a change relatively unmoved since July. The Labour Party seems to have a lead of more than 33,000 votes, showing a drop in 6,000 votes since July. 17.8% of those surveyed preferred neither leader or party.
