The Labour Party has increased its lead over the Nationalist Party from 24,000 votes in April to nearly 39,000 now, MaltaToday's June survey shows. 

The PL now practically enjoys the same vote lead it enjoyed over the PN in the 2022 general election, the survey says. 

The PL now scores an absolute majority of 53.3%, which is just 1.8 points lower than its election result. The PN is scoring two points lower than its election performance. 

Compared to the general election, the third-party vote has increased from 3.2% to 7% but remains fragmented between Momentum, ADPD and an assortment of other parties, MaltaToday reports. 

Labour's 14-point lead over the PN is the result of a mixture of declining PL non-voters, greater losses in the PN to third parties and a lower retention rate by the Opposition. 

The survey suggests that Labour's strategy of wooing back its traditional voters has now paid off with party losses to abstention dropping to just 6.7% from over 21.6% in September 2024. 

The survey once again confirms the unpopularity of PN Leader Bernard Grech, who now trails Robert Abela by a staggering 31 points, up from 27 points two months ago.
