The opinion poll on the spring hunting referendum conducted on behalf of Xarabank by Maltapolls, shows the Yes fr spring hunting vote at 35.7% of those who intend to vote and the No to spring hunting vote at 44.7%.

Considering the margin of error of this study, both camps may have a slight edge on each other and the result is still too close to call, the survey said.

Those who replied they do not know were estimated at 14.3% and those who said they will not be voting at 5.3%.

When the don't knows were correlated with the first question that was asked, whether the respondent agrees with hunting, 55.8% of the don't knows were against hunting in general, against 44.2% who agree with hunting.

When respondents were divided by gender, there is a relative majority in both genders against spring hunting (females 46.2%, males 42.9%). But the difference in the male vote is too close and within the margin of error.

Tabulated with how the respondents voted in the last election, the majority of PL voters are 55.3% in favour of retaining spring hunting while the majority of PN voters are 78.2% against spring hunting.
