Malta Today survey reports Labour is leading by 39,000 votes

Jun 8 2025

A new survey conducted by MaltaToday indicates that the Labour Party (PL) is currently leading the Nationalist Party (PN) by nearly 39,000 votes.

The survey, carried out between 28 May and 6 June among 647 respondents, reports the following national voting intentions: PL 53.3%, PN 39.7%, Momentum 3.1%, ADPD 1.6%, and Others 2.2%.

Labour’s lead has grown from 24,000 votes in April to almost 39,000 in June, according to the survey: “The Labour Party has increased its lead over the Nationalist Party from 24,000 votes in April to nearly 39,000 now,” MaltaToday’s June survey shows.

This increase is largely attributed to a significant drop in abstentions among Labour voters from the 2022 general election. The share of PL 2022 voters who now say they would not vote has fallen from 21.6% in September 2024 to just 6.7% today.

In contrast, the Nationalist Party is losing more support to third parties such as Momentum and ADPD and is facing lower voter retention overall.

Current voting intentions are broadly in line with the 2022 general election, when Labour also secured a significant lead.

Notably, a considerable number of individuals who did not vote in 2022 remain undecided or are leaning towards third parties—posing further challenges for the PN’s efforts to regain ground.
