When it comes to people who regret the way they voted in 2017, an equal 12% of people who voted either party believe the other party had become more caring. 

The results indicate a potential difference in voter perceptions that could impact who gets elected come 26th March.

While specific groups had a more favourable view of the Nationalist Party (such as those aged 16 to 24 and among those 45+), overall voters over the age of 45 had a positive view of PL while those under 45 had a less positive view.

And interestingly, the data indicates there seems to be a group of people under 45 who don’t yet know how to perceive the Nationalist Party.

With just days to go before voters take to the booths, election candidates will need to pull out all the stops to ensure they get elected, regardless of how their party is perceived.

This survey was conducted among a random sample of 457 respondents between the 9th March and 11th March. Interviews were conducted on the telephone by trained interviewers under the direct supervision of MISCO coordinators. Respondents were selected using the random digit dialling method. A total of 574 persons were contacted to achieve a sample of 457 respondents.

A sample of 457 provides a margin of error within ±4.7%. However when one applies the weighting efficiency resulting from the weighting of the data by age, gender and region, the margin of error increases to ±5.4%. The weighting efficiency is the amount of skewing that had to be done to align the sample to the actual population data.
