mt SURVEY maltatoday | SUNDAY • 24 AUGUST 2025 9 one point behind. Delia is most trusted in the North Har- bour region with a rating of 37%. Abela is three points behind. But neither of the two PN hopefuls makes signifi- cant inroads in Labour's s t r o n g h o l d s in the South East and South Harbour regions, where Abela is trusted by over 53% of respond- ents, even if Borg fares marginally bet- ter than Delia. Significantly, Abela is also substantially more trusted than both Borg and Delia in Gozo. Delia trails Abela by 17 points, while Borg trails Abela by 10 points in Gozo. This result pours cold water on hopes that, with a Gozitan leader like Borg, the PN can eas- ily flip Gozo in a general election. The survey shows Abela dom- inant across all age groups, but Borg is more trusted by younger voters when compared to Delia. While only 21% of 16- to 35-year- olds trust Delia over Abela, 28% trust Borg over Abela. This is mainly due to the increased num- ber of young respondents who trust neither leader when given a choice between Delia and Abela. The survey also shows both PN hopefuls trailing Abela among secondary and post-secondary educated voters. However, De- lia and Borg are more trusted among the tertiary educated. Among university graduates, 38% trust Borg over Abe- la, while 32% trust Delia over Abela.
