Environment This issue remains the Labour gov- ernment's bogeyman with only 17.5% of voters giving the administration a pos- itive rating (good or very good). On the contrary, 51.2% of voters believe gov- ernment's performance is bad or very bad, while 30% think it is 'so and so'. Labourites are evenly split in their judgement. While 29% give government a positive rating, 30.4% give it a negative rating and 40.6% believe the govern- ment's performance is 'so and so'. Nationalist voters appear to be more demanding in this respect with 75.8% giving the government a negative rating (bad or very bad). Only 4.1% of PN vot- ers believe the government is perform- ing positively (good or very good) on the environment and 17.3% give gov- ernment a 'so and so' rating. Fight against corruption Despite the reforms undertaken by Robert Abela's administration over the past 22 months, an absolute majority of voters (57.2%) give the government a negative rating (bad or very bad). This contrasts with 13.9% who give the gov- ernment a positive rating (good or very good) and a quarter who judge the per- formance as 'so and so'. Contrary to popular perception, 33.4% of Labour voters give the government a negative rating and 36.9% believe the administration has performed 'so and so'. Only a quarter of Labourites (25.8%) give government a good or very good rating. The picture is skewed on the negative side among Nationalist Party voters. An insignificant number (0.6%) judge government's performance positive- ly, while an overwhelming majority of 87.4% believe the administration has performed badly or very badly. Immigration Judgement on this issue provides a mixed bag of ratings. While 22.6% give government a positive rating (good or very good), 30% judge the performance negatively (bad or very bad) and 44% are neither here nor there. Labour voters appear more apprecia- tive of government's handling of migra- tion with 36.5% giving it a positive rat- ing. However, 18.6% of Labourites give the government bad marks, while 43.7% believe the performance is 'so and so'. Among PN voters 45.7% judge the government negatively on this issue, while 7.6% give it a positive rating and 40.7% are lukewarm. FULL RESULTS ONLINE 39.5% of people believe the economy is the most important issue to them, followed by 29.4% who said money in their pockets. The environment placed third with 21%, while the fight against corruption and immigration were mentioned by 7.3% and 1% respectively.
