A survey by Xarabank released during yesterday's edition of the show indicates that the majority of the Maltese believe the two contestants who have the greatest chance of becoming leader of the MLP and to lead the party to victory in the next general election are George Abela and Joseph Muscat.

Dr Muscat is perceived to have wider support within the MLP than Dr Abela. On the other hand, Dr Abela is seen to have the best chance of returning the party to government, followed by Dr Muscat.

Dr Muscat seems to enjoy a higher level of support among those who call themselves Labourites and is also in the lead among those respondents who did not want to disclose their political affiliation.

Dr Abela leads in the rest of the categories with a majority of floating voters and Nationalists who think he has the best chance to return the MLP to office.
