Last weekend’s Morgan face-to-face survey echoed other polls conducted at the time in showing little change on earlier polling despite Labor’s leadership turmoil, though as always it failed to echo other polls in having Labor’s primary vote several points higher. In this case Labor’s primary vote was up half a point on the previous week to 37.5 per cent, with the Coalition also up a point to 42.5 per cent and the Greens down 3.5 per cent from an anomalous 14.5 per cent last time. As usual with Morgan (though not Nielsen), there was a substantial difference between the two-party preferred results as derived by respondent allocation (52-48 to the Coalition) and using preference flows from the previous election (50-50).
NOTE: Due to server upgrades which will hopefully put an end to Crikey’s notorious technical gremlins, comments will be closed through the entirety of Sunday morning (i.e. about midnight to about noon).

Mod Lib,
The fact that there were leaks is not Gillard’s fault.
See how things pan out tomorrow.]
I am not saying Gillard leaked….Haha! 😉
Just someone unhappy with her. The point is the media are reporting unhappiness in the ALP and low and behold a little insider information appears.
I suspect you (and others here) actually do get this, but I commend your pretences!

The 2pp would be higher if Carr was in Foreign Affairs.

Mod Lib,
Oh, I understand the point.
However, the Carr furore is a bucket of bullshit that will be forgotten. In fact I’ve already forgotten.
If you want to talk meaningless rubbish, how about the rumour that Abbott is no longer wearing his wedding ring?
The Morgan poll we are threading on shows again, that the Libs have got no bounce from the furore of last week. What does this mean?

Showy, repetitions wont improve your IQ
Day after day, it is the same few fuarqwits that come here spoiling for a fight, they come and the first thing they do is spout some derogatory statement about the PM. Then sit back and see how and who will take the bait and then continue their ‘intelligent’ analysis of some simple statement as to whether it proves that the PM is a congenital liar, loose with her words or deliberately obtuse all in the hope of reeling is a few people and deflecting any real analysis of the politics of the day or week.
Is it any wonder that this site is down to about 20 people posting and fewer sitting back reading (well scrolling past most of the crap that goes on here) where there used to be many more.

Mod Lib,
Oh, I understand the point.]
Yes, I knew you would. Do me a favour and tell the other posters, would you?
[The Morgan poll we are threading on shows again, that the Libs have got no bounce from the furore of last week. What does this mean?]
Yes, you are absolutely right. I have been very surprised by the polls around the destabilisation. The Morgan is a F2F and taken last weekend which is at the time we have debated here about the possibility of an impending Rudd takeover bounce.
If over the next few weeks we have polls in the 48-52 range I will agree with you: GAME ON!
If, as I suspect, over the next few weeks we have polls drifting out again to 44-56 (or worse for the ALP) then…..well, I guess: GAME ON TOO!!!!

Mod Lib,
The bad news for you and the Libs is that was just down the local and the punters are all of a sudden interested in the compensation for the Carbon tax.
It’s amazing how quickly people will change their view of the Government, climate change and being proactive on social issues when you explain they are financial winners from all their altruism.
The No charade has run its course.

my bad.
Now, finding his trousers from 600,000 km away really would be the ultimate mother trick.
The 2pp would be higher if Carr was in the Senate.
And yet, they blew it.
And yes, regarding the first line, that still wouldn’t be saying much.
Only 18-20 months until an Abbott Government – for the next 15 years! I can’t wait!

Thomas Jefferson wrote many scathing things about the press, a lot of it much more visceral than that.
He was a bitter bitter man.
