maltatoday | WEDNESDAY • 6 MARCH 2019 7 NEWS ANALYSIS 5. Joseph Muscat remains more popular than his party. While Delia is now 11 points less popular than his own par- ty, Muscat is 12 points more popular than his party. This suggests that while Delia is more of a liability, Muscat is his party's best asset. It may also be thanks to Muscat's hold on voters that the party is holding its forts. In fact the survey does expose signs of disgruntlement within La- bour's ranks. A tenth of PL voters would not vote in the next MEP elec- tions and a further tenth are still undecided. The Malta- Today survey shows that the PL has more voters intent on not voting (9.7%) than the PN (6.5%). If this is confirmed at the polls the PL would be fac- ing some difficulties even if the party retains more of its 2017 votes thanks to the larg- est shift from the PN to the other parties. But this dis- gruntlement evaporates the moment Labour voters are given a direct choice between Delia and Muscat. The two surveys show that between 95% (MaltaToday) and 98% (it-Torca) of PL vot- ers in 2017 trust Muscat more than Delia. This indicates the presence of a category of PL voters who are showing signs of disgruntlement and are even threatening not to vote but who ultimately trust Mus- cat's leadership. This may suggest discon- tentment on a variety of is- sues which does not translate in questioning Muscat. This makes Muscat's replacement with a new leader a more prob- lematic issue for the party. Will a new Labour leader be able to command the same authority among party voters, especially in that sector of vot- ers who trust Muscat but are less keen on identifying them- selves with the party?
