Essential Research: 50-50

Another sedate result on voting intention from Essential Research, which finds more evidence of strong support for a royal commission into the banking sector.

This week’s fortnightly rolling average from Essential Research is once again at 50-50, with the Coalition steady on the primary vote at 42%, Labor up a point to 36%, and the Greens steady at 11%. Other findings:

• Essential conducted one of its occasional experiments where separate halves of the sample are offered different versions of the same question, in this case relating to a royal commission into the banking and financial services industry. The more straightforward version recorded 59% supportive and 15% opposed. The more elaborate version attributed the notion to Bill Shorten and noted the resistance of Malcolm Turnbull, and got 54% supportive and 21% opposed, with the partisan effect particularly pronounced in the case of Coalition voters.

• From five options on school funding, the most favoured involved a greater involvement for the federal government, with 49% in favour of it becoming the main funder of all schools and 27% opposed.

• Thirty-six per cent said kids these days have more opportunities than back in the day, against 30% for less opportunities and 21% for the same.

• Fifty-six per cent said retirees received too little support, versus 7% for too much and 24% for about right.

• Seventy-six per cent thought it harder for young people to buy a house than for their parents’ generation, and 55% thought it harder for them to find a job. The respective figures for easier were 7% and 17%.

  8. I would have thought that the only way Malcolm could win would be to approach the election looking like he’s going to win big (and thus get a big mandate). If that doesn’t look on the cards, the voters could get very ugly. We could get a repeat of 2013 when voters decided to tip Rudd into a dustbin.

    For someone who has no chance of winning the next election, Bill Shorten sure seems to be scaring the beejesus out of the Liberals.

  27. Speaking of NXT (as Simon not-the-cricketer) just did, the latest national Morgan showed their vote at 4.5%. Now young Nick has a lot of admirers outside SA, but I doubt that many are thinking of voting for his party. So assuming all his supporters are in SA (11 electorates out of 150), that would make his support in SA 61%. Assuming 1% of folk outside SA support him, that brings the SA vote down to 40%. Or if it’s 2% outside SA it comes down to 36%. And I can’t believe that more than 2% are saying “we’ll vote NXT” outside SA – so their support in SA is somewhere between 36 and 60%. I asked Ant Green a few months ago how many seats he’d have to allow for NXT in SA if he wasn’t just using old Reps figures and he said “It’s impossible to guess, but maybe all of them!” I’m starting to think that could be right – but it would be nice to see an SA poll with a decent number of respondents.

    Hello all, wonderful to see PB back firing again.

    Most of the forecasts listed are clustered around the apparent state of the polls today. Implicitly, these forecasts mean the apparent motion in favour of Labor will soon come to rest if it has not already done so. But this ignores the reasons for the motion in the first place. The factors that have drawn voters to Labor are still in play and will continue to attract support as more voters focus on political events and as the election approaches.

    It’s worth recalling that the election has yet to be actually called. Everything that has happened recently is merely anticipation of a poll in the context of disappointment. Once the Parliament is dismissed and full campaigning starts, disengaged and undecided voters – in their millions – will start to determine their intentions. As this occurs, Labor are highly likely to accumulate yet more support.

  29. In the middle of Morrison’s blathering, did I miss the bit where Leigh Sales challenged him on why the “immediate action necessary” he was going on about doesn’t happen till 2017?
    No? Thought not.
    And why did she ask such a stupid question at the end about whether he was ” feeling the pressure ” re the budget – dead set gift for a motor mouth like him to go on about something else. Appealing interviewing!

    favours those who can take advantage of tax incentives, rather than people doing something innovative

    and

    Australia lost more money from online dating scams ($23 million) than was invested in seed capital last year ($19 million)

    and

    Levering universities to undertake more applied research – at the possible expense of basic and experimental research will effectively be an innovation penalty. We need universities (and organisations like CSIRO) to undertake the kinds of non-commercial research that has consistently proven to be the engine of real, global benchmark innovation

    ScoMo’s interview on 7.30 just now:
    Thanks Leigh………… Bill Shorten… Bill Shorten… Bill Shorten… Bill Shorten… Bill Shorten… Bill Shorten… Bill Shorten… Bill Shorten… Bill Shorten… Bill Shorten… Bill

    This just summarises the pickle that Turnbull, Morrison et al are in. Everything they are now doing is a reaction to what Shorten and Labor have proposed.

  33. $121m to the banks is peanuts. And how did they arrive at that figure anyhow, did ScoMo just pull it out of his arse? Were is the cost analysis for chasing bad banking practice down hundred’s of rabbit holes. I doubt $1.21 billion would be enough.

    He should try it a little slower and a little variation.

    Secondly . The banks pay it ? Sacre beaujolais !! even such ash tray money will be paid for one way or another by we the customers by way of adding fees and charges.

  38. You’ve got to wonder if they will even have a budget on 3 May. Turnbull will want to offer fistfuls of dollars and maybe even soak the rich, in a desperate bid to save his arse. ScoMo will pull out the prosperity bible and say that is total wickedness. Their poor relationship is obviously going to get a lot worse. I wonder if Malcolm will even know what’s in the budget before it’s delivered.
