A MaltaToday survey of 666 Gozitan respondents reveals that the Nationalist Party (PN) is on track to reclaim Gozo, leading the Labour Party (PL) by nearly six points. The survey, conducted between January 16 and 28, indicates that while the PN is at 47.4% and the PL at 41.7%, it may still fall short of an absolute majority.
This marks a significant shift from the 2022 general election, where the PL enjoyed a 10-point lead. The PN has gained 409 votes since then, while Labour has lost 3,770. A notable 2,015 votes have shifted to third parties, which now hold 10.9% of the vote.
Prime Minister Robert Abela leads Opposition leader Bernard Grech by nine points in the trust barometer, but 30% of PN voters do not trust either leader. Voter trends show Labour losing votes mainly to abstention, while the PN faces a greater loss to third parties.
The survey also highlights demographic trends, with the PN performing better among older voters and women, while the PL leads among younger Gozitans. The rise of third parties is notably strong among voters aged 16-35.
