Labour Leads PN by 15,000 Votes, Survey Reveals

Feb 11 2024

Ahead of the upcoming MEP elections in June, the latest MaltaToday survey indicates that the Labour Party is currently leading by a substantial margin of 15,000 votes over the Nationalist Party (PN).

According to the survey findings, the Labour Party has successfully maintained a robust support level at 48%, while the PN lags at 41%.

The survey revealed a concerning potential for voter apathy, with an astonishing 37.5% of respondents declaring their intention not to participate in the forthcoming election. Should this sentiment be reflected in the actual voter turnout, it would mark the lowest participation rate in the history of MEP elections in Malta.

The trust barometer also provides insight into the leadership preferences among the Maltese population. Prime Minister Robert Abela has seen an increase in his trust ratings, now at 41.1%, further solidifying his lead over the opposition. In contrast, PN and Opposition leader Bernard Grech’s trust rating stands at a markedly lower 16.7%. This disparity in trust levels accentuates the challenges faced by the PN as it attempts to bridge the gap with the Labour Party.
