Among pensioners those report- ing a deterioration in their income have declined from 34% in Octo- ber to 28%. In contrast among those aged between 36 and 50 the percent- age reporting a decline in their in- come has increased from 43% last month to 51% now. Pensioners and Gozitans give highest score to government Despite a general climate of pes- simism, the survey still shows the government scraping the pass mark in MaltaToday's govern- ment performance barometer. The survey which asks respond- ents to rate the government led by Robert Abela on a score board of between 0 (very bad) and 5 (very good). The survey shows the Ab- ela government getting a 2.6 mark rating up from 2.5 last month. A breakdown by age shows the government getting its best rat- ing among over 65-year-olds who give the Abela government a rat- ing of three points up from 2.7 last month. The government once again gets its worse score among 36- to 50-year-olds (2.3 down from 2.4 last month). On a regional level the govern- ment is given the best rating in Gozo (3.2 up from 2.6 last month) and its lowest rating in the north harbour region (2.3 down from 2.5). A breakdown by education shows the government getting its best score among those with a primary level of education (3.2 up from 2.9 last month) and its worse score tertiary educated re- spondents (2.3 down from 2.4 last month). Significantly the government only gets a rating of 2.2 among the current crop of non-voters. The survey was carried out was carried between 1st November 2023 and 9th November 2023 for which 637 people opted to complete the survey. Stratified random sampling based on region, gender and age was used. A fraction of those who opted to complete the survey chose not to answer a few of the questions for which they are treated as missing values. Missing values analysis was then carried to determine the type of technique to replace the values. A combination of logistic and linear regression with predictive mean matching was used to replace certain missing values completing and enlarging the sample set from which the final results were extracted. The margin of error for this result 3.85% for a confidence interval of 95%. 15 SURVEY maltatoday | SUNDAY • 19 NOVEMBER 2023 again, but outlook remains gloomy Personal finances - Voters Today Personal finances - By Age Personal finances - By Region The country's direction Personal finances - By Gender Personal finances - By Education Personal finances - Voters 2022 Voter allegiance Age Gender Region Education 60% 55% 50% 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0 16-35 36-50 51-65 65+ 17.2% 38.1% 33.9% 11.6% 50.8% 37.6% 21.8% 51.5% 26.7% 37.5% 27.8% 36.3% Better Worse The same Voters 2022 Voters now 60% 55% 50% 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0 PL Now PN Now Will not Vote Now 44.6% 18.5% 36.9% 8.8% 49.5% 41.6% 10.1% 49.1% 40.8% Better Worse The same 15% 10% 5% 0 Better Worse The same Overall The survey was carried out was carried between 1st November 2023 and 9th November 2023 for which 637 people opted to complete the survey.
