Robert Abela leads in trust rating as Grech secures highest performance so far

The latest MaltaToday survey has revealed that Prime Minister Robert Abela’s trust rating has bounced back with seven points after suffering an all-time low back when Malta hit a surge in COVID-19 cases in March. Abela thus climbs to 47.2% with PN Leader Bernard Grech trailing at 35.8%, his highest trust rating so far.

The survey also notes a halt to the Labour Party’s downward trend, with support at 41.8% and PN at 35.6% with an increase in three and 2.6 points respectively.

The results of this survey suggest that Labour may be ahead with around 26,000 votes, assuming that unsure voters will vote according to their last election choice, with new voters split equally.

Chris Fearne predicts Herd Immunity by end of June for Malta
Apr 10 2021 Share

Addressing a press conference this morning, Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Chris Fearne announced that Malta could very well reach herd immunity by the end of June and not September as had been previously planned. Fearne emphasised the efficacy of the vaccine rollout programme, with 237,806 vaccine doses administered up until today. The original plan by Health Authorities was to vaccinate 80% of over 80s vaccinated by end of March.

The expectations were however surpassed as 95% of the age group had received the jab by target date. Fearne stated that by the end of this month, all the over 60s will have been vaccinated, with 50s being vaccinated with first dose by third week of May should the progress continue.
