In a MaltaTo- day survey carried out between Monday 31 May 2021 and Friday 4 June 2021 among 650 respondents, support for Labour continued its upward climb at the expense of the PN. Now 45.7% say they would vote Labour if a general election were to be held tomorrow as support for the PN slumped to 29.3%. That gap has now wid- ened further to over 16 points, which would translate into a differ- ence of almost 48,000 votes when analysing voter patterns in rela- tion to the last gen- eral election. And yet de- spite Robert Abela's trust rating sur- passing the 50% mark for the first time since last September, Bernard Grech's trust rating at 29.3% was an improvement of almost four points over his worst performance last month. Unfortunate- ly, it is the Nationalist Party leader's second month in a row where he scores less than 30%, putting the gap between the leaders at 21 points.
