The survey, which is being carried out every week, took place with 700 respondents and in the week the PN launched its electoral programme.

As things stand, the swing to Labour has increased and the PL has a lead among new voters. In the trust barometer between the two leaders, Muscat continues to lead by 46% against Gonzi's 33%.

In fact last week the PL widened its lead over the PN from 11 points in the beginning of January to a record 14 points.

The increase in Labour's gap came in the wake of the oil kickbacks scandal, whose repercussions continued to be felt this week after Infrastructure Minister Austin Gatt was called in for questioning by the police.

But over the past week, the gap has been cut from 14 to 12 points, which has been the normal gap between the two parties over the past year except for December when the PN had managed to close the gap to 9 points.

At 1.8%, the Greens register their highest percentage in the past month thanks to a small swing from the PN.

The survey was held between Monday and Thursday.

But while the PN has edged two points closer to Labour, the swing of voters from the PN to the PL has increased from 7 to 9 points.

Labour is also leading among new voters and respondents who had not voted in the 2008 election even if the PN has regained some lost ground among the new voters.
