5 maltatoday, SUNDAY, 29 JANUARY 2017 prioritised by the government. The lack of a bridge or tunnel is the most press- ing issue, followed by roads and jobs. Respondents were also asked which party is best to address this problem. They were more likely to think the PL can solve problems related to jobs and connectivity but less likely to solve the roads problem. Respondents were asked to state which is the greatest problem facing Gozo. The most pressing concerns emerging from the survey are jobs (24%) followed by the lack of a bridge or tunnel (18%) and the state of the roads (17.4%). While they are slightly more likely to believe that the PN can address jobs and the state of roads, they are more like- ly to believe that the PL can solve the problem of connecting the two islands. A comparison of a survey held in De- cember 2015 shows that concern on both health and jobs has increased by six points. Muscat gets higher score than Busuttil Respondents were asked to give a score from 1 to 5 to both political lead- ers, one being the lowest and five the highest. The survey shows Joseph Mus- cat getting an average score of 3.1 and Simon Busuttil a score of 2.9. The survey shows 26% giving full marks to Muscat compared to 18% giv- ing full marks to Busuttil. Muscat also gets an average of 4.6 among current Labour voters com- pared to Busuttil's 4.1 score among current PN voters, but Busuttil gets a slightly better score among switchers than Muscat. The survey was held between Monday, January 9 and Friday 13, 2017. 909 re- spondents all hailing from Gozo partici- pated. The survey was stopped when a 600 quota sample of completed ques- tionnaires was reached. The survey has a margin of error of +/-4 points.
