Gonzi improves ratings with PN voters, but Labour rakes in the spoils

But despite his popularity, Muscat had lost some ground since the last electoral survey held in March, seeing his trust rating falling from 39% to 33% compared to Gonzi’s 25%.

The latest MT survey also showed that Gonzi’s trust rating had fallen by 2 points since March, while support for his party fell from 19% to 15% – the same score registered by the PN in a MaltaToday survey a year ago.

The dip in support for both leaders and parties was corresponded by a rise in the number of undecided respondents. The number of non-committed respondents who could not express a preference for either leader has increased from 35% to 42% since March.

The survey shows that Gonzi has continued to solidify his hold among a segment of PN voters. From the respondents who voted PN in 2008, the percentage who deem Gonzi’s performance as Prime Minister positively has increased from 36% in September 2009 to 48% in March, to 52% now.

AD remained stable at just 1% – roughly the same amount of support garnered last March and in the 2008 general election. The survey showed no shift from the other parties towards AD.
