Opinion polling for the next Maltese general election
 |
|---|
In the run up to the next Maltese general election, expected by 2027, various organizations have carried out opinion polling to gauge voting intention in Malta. Results of such polls are displayed in this article.
In the most recent general election, in 2022, the Labour Party won their third consecutive election, and have been in power since 2013.
Party polling
[edit]Poll results are listed in the table below in reverse chronological order. The highest percentage figure in each poll is displayed in bold, and its background is shaded in the leading party's colour. The "lead" column shows the percentage point difference between the two parties with the highest figures. When a poll result is a tie, the figures with the highest percentages are both shaded and displayed in bold.
It is not uncommon for the third largest party, AD+PD and other smaller parties to be grouped together in polls, or totally excluded.
Expressing a Preference
[edit]The values in the table below are derived by removing non-party responses (i.e. non-voters, "don't know", and "no reply"); as the margin is also recalculated, there may be slight differences in exact lead margins due to rounding.
