The MaltaToday survey found that 39.2% believe the Prime Minister's pledge against 31.9%, who do not. A significant 28.9% were undecided on the matter. Labour voters in the 2017 election tend to believe the Prime Minister more. Of those who voted PL last June, 48.8% believe Muscat will go as opposed to 28.4% who do not. PN voters were more dismissive of Muscat's pledge. Among those who voted PN in 2017, 38.1% do not believe Muscat will go, while 34% were unsure. The results show that if you are a man from the Western region, aged between 18 and 35 and voted PL in the last election, you are more inclined to believe Muscat's intentions about his own future. If you are a woman, older than 65, voted PN and live in the south east, you are most likely not to believe Muscat when he says that he will not be PL leader for the next general election.
