Malta's opinion is almost equally split between those who want to keep the derogation allowing hunting in Spring and those who want to see it abolished.According to a MaltaToday survey, 40% will vote yes, while 38.6% will vote no. 12.7% of voters are undecided while 7.7% will not vote in the upcoming referendum in April. The latest result contradicts previous surveys showing a substantial lead by the anti spring hunting camp.
Opposition to the spring hunting derogation has declined sharply from 60% in July, 2013 to just 38% now.
On the other hand support for retaining the derogation permitting spring hunting has risen from 28% to 40%.
