THE ALL-NEW B10 STARTING FROM €20,900* (*2025 GOVERNMENT GRANTS AND SCRAPPAGE SCHEME INCLUDED. TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLY). mt SURVEY maltatoday | SUNDAY • 16 NOVEMBER 2025 among young voters and women Performance Barometer: Government gets satisfactory 3.1 rating THE government's approval rat- ing has remained stable, regis- tering a statistically insignificant 0.1-point increase from the rat- ing it received in October. As in previous surveys respond- ents were asked to rate the ad- ministration's performance on a scale of 0 (very bad) to 5 (very good). A breakdown by age shows the government enjoying its highest rating among over 65-year-olds (3.2) and its lowest rating among those aged 36 to 50 (2.9). On a regional level the govern- ment's rating ranges from 2.8 in the Northern region to 3.5 in the South Eastern region. Not surprisingly, current PN voters give the government the lowest rating (1.9) and current Labour voters the highest rating (4.3). The government also manages to get over the pass mark among current non-voters, who give the administration a positive rating of 2.9. A breakdown by educational background shows the govern- ment registering the highest score among respondents with a primary level of education (3.5) and the lowest among those with a tertiary education (2.7). divide. While the PL leads by a sub- stantial 13-point margin among men, it trails the PN by eight points among women. In the October survey the two parties were head-to-head among women, while the PL led by four points among men. While the present survey confirms the trend of previous surveys, showing greater support for the rul- ing party among men, the difference is starker now. Due to the larger margin of error when analysing sub groups, this data has to be treated with caution and one has to see whether this trend per- sists over time. A breakdown by education shows the PL leading by three points among the post-secondary educated and by more substantial leads among the secondary educated (nine points) and primary educated (15 points). The PN has re- tained a 15-point advantage among the tertiary educated, who are also the most likely to abstain (30.5%).
