The latest Roy Morgan face-to-face poll has Labor’s primary vote falling three points to 34 per cent, their worst result in this series since October 1997 (NOTE: Not 2007, as this post read originally). The Coalition is up two to 48 per cent, with the Greens up half a point to 11 per cent. On both the respondent-allocated and previous-election measures of two-party preferred, the Coalition lead is at 54.5-45.5, respectively comparing with 53.5-46.5 and 52-48 last time. Labor can perhaps take some consolation that the Morgan face-to-face pro-Labor bias seems to have alleviated a little since the carbon tax was introduced. Where traditionally this series has had Labor about 3 per cent higher than the phone poll average, it has lately been more like 1 or 2 per cent. This result covers polling from last weekend, encompassing an unusually small sample of 791.
mining tax = positive
cabon tax = a good thing to be accepted in time
waste = WHAT WASTE? You mean NO recession?
Look at the Primary Vote – -who has lost support since last Newspoll.
A clue – not the ALP 🙂
Ju-liar said and I quote “there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead” unless you are saying the government is lead by Brown etal (which is fair) then she LIED
These budget questions are good news for the ALP.
People have low expectations. If they can get through to the end of the year, they should be in better shape.
On top of that, most people think the Coalition wouldn’t have done a better job with the budget.
Ummm so it isn’t economic credability?
cuppa
the reality is that the fibs are sinking in
the ppm from both polls is shite
now is the the time for all good wo/men to come to the aid of the party
the green attacks must cease
it aint doing anyone any favours
🙁
So a majority of people believe that the Budget was good for the country and also that the Opposition would not have delivered a better Budget.
I expect that to be headline news, then?
How can a tax that exports jobs be good???
it simply transfers carbon dioxide output to CHINA
Ahem, Tell that to certain posters – it takes two to tango here.
Mumble said this about Preferred/Better PM a while ago
I agree

Uncertainty surrounding the carbon tax is certainly a major factor
Look at the number of people polled, look at the margin of errors. What you wrote is as rubbery as the figures.
New thread.
I saw some comparison of the carbon tax with the GST this is false
GST taxed importers and not exporters
Carbon tax taxes exporters and not importers =job distruction
you guys are just looking at the selling… and they have tried the product is crap
no – I call it the end of Peak Green 🙂
