Opposition leader Joseph Muscat and Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi
While there has been little change in voting intentions, the survey shows labour leader Joseph Muscat widening his trust lead over Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi from 9 points last month to 12 points now. Muscat also achieves a record trust rating of 44%, the highest in the past two years.
Both leaders remain more popular than their own parties. While Gonzi is 5 points more popular than the PN, Muscat is 6 points more popular than the PL. On his part Gonzi has seen his trust rating increase by one point while Muscat has increased his trust rating by 4 points since last month.
On the other hand the percentage of voters who trust neither of the two leaders has declined by 4 points.
This could be another indication of a more polarised climate where past supporters are returning to the fold. Labour leader Joseph Muscat starts as the clear favourite to become the next Prime Minister thanks to a shift of around a tenth of Nationalist voters in 2008 to Labour.
