A survey in MaltaToday shows Labour with a clear 15,000 lead over the Nationalist Party in the race for the European Parliament election in June.
While an encouraging start for Labour, a concern for both major parties is the drop in the number of people who said they would be voting in the election.
The survey puts Prime Minister Robert Abela ahead as the most trusted, increasing his lead over Opposition leader Bernard Grech by four points since December.
Abela’s trust rating now stands at 41.1% compared to Grech’s 16.7%, his lowest in over a year.
