PRIME Minister Robert Abela remains
substantially more trusted than both
PN leadership contenders, but Alex
Borg emerges as the stronger challenger
in a MaltaToday survey.
The survey polled the general public
and was conducted over the past week
in which respondents were asked to
state which leader they trust most to
lead Malta in a choice between Abela
and either of the two PN hopefuls.
The survey shows Abela's trust rating
solid at 43% against both PN contend-
ers. But while only 28% trust Delia in a
face-off with the prime minister, 34%
trust Borg in a similar contest. Both
PN contenders outperform outgoing
PN leader Bernard Grech, who in June
trailed Abela by a staggering 31 points.
Respondents were also asked who they
trust most between Delia and Borg. Sig-
nificantly PN voters
are nearly equally
split between the
two hopefuls but among PL voters and
2022 general election non-voters, Borg
commands a clear lead.
