That LNP PV is too high, be more like 31 or 32—see what Essential says later this week. This is a poll for the national shit sheet after all.

PPM— a drop of 5%. That is statistically significant.

FWIW

According to the latest exclusive Sky News/ ReachTEL poll, the government is facing a landslide defeat to Labor at the next election, trailing the opposition 46-54 on a two party preferred basis.

Changes within MoE. Look at the primary votes and the ALP PV is still slightly below reality, more like 38.

Labor and Shorten need to step up a bit to take votes from Greens and Libs.

[HBS Guy]

Newspoll – 53-47 still, but PPM is narrowing. Turnbull 37 (-3), Shorten 35 (+2).

There likely was an Essential Poll or two I haven’t reported.

There was some movement within MoE in the Jan Newspoll that got the Canberra Press Gallery hacks excited “Turnbull comeback” etc but that disappeared soon enough. Parties are pretty much fixed at 53 point something for labor and 46 point something for Libs. Most polls distribute preferences as per last election but this makes the Libs look a bit better than they are.

Bit more detail on that Newspoll:

#Newspoll TPP ALP 53 (0) L/NP 47 (0)
Primary L/NP 37(+1) ALP 38(+1) GRN 9(-1) ON 7(-1) OTH 9(0)

Again, changes within MoE. ALP is on something above 53, Libs on something below 47 and all understated for the ALP/overstated for the Libs by using preference allocations from the last election despite the swing since then.

Just movement within Margin of Error, complicated perhaps by SABest voters returning to the Libs for the moment.

Here's Possum's take

http://blogs.crikey.com.au/pollytics/2009/11/16/essential-report-equal-lowest-ever-for-the-alp/

Like you were saying, it's heavily the grey voters who appear to believe that there are no such thing as refugees (unless they come from Europe) and that people fleeing oppression and other bad circumstances are actually invaders of some sort who we should turn back with naval gunships.

Government debt will continue to be an issue since almost all voters probably believe that federal government can actually become insolvent (it can't unless it voluntarily chooses to) and that taxes will therefore need to be hiked to pay it back. I won't be surprised to see the federal budget reflect this insurmountable public perception.

That was yesterday though, I see your newspoll is for this morning. At this stage, we are still on track to win the next election, likely with an increased margin.

Would be good to see Chris increase his margin - Flynn was a knife edge. I think there was less than a hundred votes in it.

that's from 2009

Then rudd sabotaged the Labor campaign.

Without that little prick constantly whiteanting the Gillard Govt we would still have a Labor govt and the real NBN would be nearly finished. The wifi here is fantastic—as it should be with FTTH underpinning it! (next week, school holidays, the wifi might slow if the other units here are rented out.)

It's disgraceful what rudd did.

Not what Turdfull wants to hear!

[HBS Guy]

Hmmmm, I have rather let poll tracking slide. However, last weeks IPSOS poll:

Asked today who they trust, 48 per cent of voters nominate Turnbull and just 39 per cent name Shorten.

Labor will be cheered by the poll showing they would demolish the Coalition by 53 to 47 per cent at an election held right now, but the leadership findings add to the doubts about Shorten.

With all the KillBill and, incredibly, Labor Leadershit, crap from the Libs and MSM 39% is not too bad. Shorten could do things to improve his ranking. However, the volume of good policy released, the townhall meetings he holds will keep Labor in front and win them the election.
