The hunting lobby's decision to campaign for a 'yes' vote in the 11 April refer- endum on the derogation on the spring hunting ban, instead of abstaining, re- sulted only in a small, two-point drop in respondents who intend not voting. The survey was held between 16-18 March, and shows the outcome of the referendum remains unclear as 16% of respondents remain undecided. The survey has a margin of error of +/-4 percentage points. Both camps gained three points, registering an increase in support among both Nationalist and Labour voters. Overall the survey suggests that the respective camps have consolidated their position among their supporters, with the No camp increasing support among university and post-secondary educated, and the Yes strengthening the vote of secondary- and primary-educated voters. Older respondents have shifted to the Yes camp while younger voters will vote 'no'. The Yes camp also leads among men aged 35 and over, and women over 55. Opposition to spring hunting is now strongest among women aged between 18 and 34, with the No camp retaining its substantial lead among women aged 35-54 despite the Yes camp's appeal to women voters by fronting lawyer Kath- leen Grima as campaign spokesperson. And among men aged between 34 and 54, the No camp has gained six points. Support for the Yes camp increased marginally among women over 55. For the first time since January, the 'yes' vote leads among this group, while the 'no' vote is weakest with men over 55.
