GhostWhoVotes relates that the first Nielsen poll since the leadership change has Labor bouncing from 57-43 behind to dead level, from primary votes of 39% for Labor (up 10), 44% for the Coalition (down three) and 9% for the Greens (down two). Kevin Rudd’s personal ratings are 51% approve and 43% disapprove, while Tony Abbott is on 41% (down three) and 56% disapprove (up three). Rudd leads as preferred prime minister by 55-41. More to follow.
UPDATE: Full tables plus leadership attributes results, courtesy as usual of the ghost with the most.
UPDATE 2 (Essential Research): The ever inflexible Essential Research still has the Coalition lead at 52-48, although Labor is up a point on last week to 39% with the Coalition steady on 46% and the Greens down one to 7%. Also featured are personal approval ratings, with Kevin Rudd on 50% approve and 35% disapprove against 39% and 51% for Tony Abbott, with Rudd leading 50-35 as preferred prime minister. There is also very strong support for Kevin Rudd’s notion that party leaders should be chosen by members as well as caucus, with 56% approval and 19% disapproval. A question on the state of the economy finds a sharp deterioration since April, with good down nine points to 36% and poor up four to 30%, with the usual huge disparities according to voting intention. Thirty-eight per cent thought the economy headed in the right direction, up two since July, against 42% for the wrong direction, up three. There is also a question on respondents’ personal involvement in the past week, showing 56% had watched federal politicians on television, 50% discussed federal politics with friends and family, and 43% had seen television advertising by the parties.
UPDATE 3 (Morgan): Morgan has both Labor and the Coalition up on the primary vote, respectively by half a point to 42% and 1.5% to 41%, with another bad poll showing for the Greens who are down 1.5% to 7%. This causes last week’s attention-grabbing 54.5-45.5 lead on two-party preferred to rein in to 52.5-47.5, but the size of Labor’s lead last week was inflated by a blowout in respondent-allocated preferences which has come down somewhat this week. On the stable measure of two-party preferred using preference flows from the previous election, the change is from 52.5-47.5 to 51.5-48.5. And bless their hearts, they are continuing to provide weekly state breakdowns, which find the position in Queensland returning to a believable situation of parity between the two parties after last week’s blowout of 57-43 to Labor.

I’m now a third of the way through doing the detailed results of the Pakistani elections. With 272 seats, and about 20 candidates per seat, it’s a lot of tabulating.
amazing
Lovely set of numbers that.
confessions
yes i know – up instantly after screening. public money well spent. program is too ethnocentric, not enough analytic answers, and some assumptions such as boat travel to continent first time are highly controversial. but great visuals of some important sites.
geoffrey,
Do you reckon it’s the dead at shot out of a cannon bounce?
“@mikebairdMP: Ok @barryofarrell can we call a public holiday if we get these 20 runs or do we lobby @KRuddMP? Love the fight whatever the result #Ashes”
tony has a limited vocabulary and has trouble pronouncing the 200 abstract words he does know.
[ Let the ALP self-implode, push them to beg Kevin to return, make them look smug and incompetent with old-Kevin ads and then bring Turbull back to finish them off. ]
Yes, I wondered the same thing. However, read Andrew Elder’s blog – he simply doesn’t believe the LNP are smart enough to have come up with this as a strategy!
semantically deprived
The Test continues to be a great metaphor for our election.

Tony Greig and Bill Lawry were such better commentators than this English crowd.

“Tories don’t have balls.”
They do so! Go to any Philip Morris executive, they’ll open the office humidor and show you!
GG more a homecoming
btw lo fucking l at the people claiming Abbott’s dire unpopularity is all just part of the Liberal Campaign plot to reTurnbull.
Yeah, right. And the ALP kept Julia in for so long because she’d make Kevin look good.

She certainly did!
ML:
I am enjoying the absence of live betting odds, cross program promotions and sponsors ads ad nauseum.
Does the English coverage not have ad breaks?

NOt to me.
I assume the English coverage has ad breaks. But we are spared endless adverts for KFC etc.
16 to go
Handunnettige Deepthi Priyantha Kumar Dharmasena makes the correct decision!
15
And when they show shots of the crowd, they’re not all of young, blonde women like they are with Ch9.
Oh God, not one of these decisions is it?
I think he’s out.
arghhh
no cricket. night
Well there u go
Terrible way for the match to end.
Such a shame!!
Well done Haddin, though. And young Ash.
Where was snicko?
Night
On balance, deserved
Yes, goodnight from me too.
So who won ?
mL snicko belatedly confirmed the edge…
First Footprint is stunning.
The sheer emotion of the woman recalling her grand parent.
His place, her time, overwhelming.
[Greens leader Christine Milne flags opposing Rudd carbon move]
Well I think this is actually a positive for Rudd Labor as it makes it seem like they are really doing something significant and tough.
Newspoll – SA State April/June
56-44 2PP
ALP 32, Lib 44, Nat 1, Greens 10
Weatherill: Satisified 47, Dissatisfied 35
Marshall: Satisified 41, Dissatisfied 20
Better Premier: Weatherill 41, Marshall 30
As a Pom, that was sweet. Had 20 years of hostile aggression over The Ashes, boot’s on the other foot, so to speak now. Barracking rights I think it’s referred to
Rudd has done a great job muddying the Coalitions dog whistle boat non-policy, creating some doubt, confusion and forcing them to become even more risky.
Still needs a second line of attack to knock them off balance again at some point.
Federal Labor needs to push the primary vote up into the low to mid 40s, if they are to win the election.
Thomas Paine: the ABC said tonight that there will be a policy announcement on asylum seekers in the coming week.
