Newspoll: 53-47 to Labor

The fortnightly result from Newspoll lands slightly at the high end of Labor’s recent form.

The Australian’s latest fortnightly Newspoll is a minor breakthrough for Labor, putting them ahead 53-47 after a series of 52-48s. Labor is up one on the primary vote to 38%, with the Coalition and Greens steady on 39% and 10%. Malcolm Turnbull is up one on approval to 30% and one on disapproval to 51%, with Bill Shorten unchanged at 36% and 51%, and Turnbull’s lead as preferred prime minister unchanged at 42-32. The poll was conducted Thursday to Sunday from a sample of 1846.

UPDATE (Essential Research): The latest reading of the Essential Research fortnight rolling average likewise has Labor moving to a lead of 53-47, after two weeks of respite for the Coalition at 52-48. However, the primary votes are all but unchanged after rounding, with the Coalition on 38%, Labor on 37%, the Greens on 10%, One Nation on 6%, and the Nick Xenophon Team up a point to 3%. Monthly leadership ratings find Malcolm Turnbull down two on approval to 36% and up three on disapproval to 44%, Bill Shorten down three to 34% and up three to 43%, and Turnbull’s lead as preferred prime minister shifting from 41-28 to 40-28.

The poll also ventures into American matters, with some fascinating results. Respondents overwhelmingly perceived things as being better in Australia than the United States over a range of issue areas, the biggest gap being 78% to 5% for access to health care, and the smallest being 38% to 19% for opportunities to succeed in business. Only on international influence was the US granted to be “better”, by 46% to 24%. Fifty-two per cent thought American influence to be weakening, with only 19% taking the opposite view. Hillary Clinton was favoured by 59% compared with 19% for Donald Trump, and Clinton was heavily favoured for all listed issues, with the strongest being relations with Australia (54% to 10%) and the weakest being preventing terrorist attacks in Australia (33% to 15%, with a particularly high 38% for makes no difference).

The government’s contentious new law on boat arrivals have strong support, with 56% approval and 29% disapproval. The view that the government is too tough on asylum seekers is up three points since August to 23%, while too soft is down five to 24%, but “the right approach” gains six to 37%, with don’t know down four to 15%.

  1. Just watched Qanda on iview. Wow! The Canadian bird was something. If I were IPA, I wouldn’t go near her in a debate.
    Don Watson answered a couple of questions the way I would have liked to,
    Albo just had to sit quietly and watch the IPA skewer themselves

    Keating got that sound bite every evening news & combined it with strength of purpose & leadership.

    I agree, but we may not see his like again. He smiled as he sunk the boot in to the vital parts of the opposition. What a consummate politician in the parliament and at the doorstop.

    But amongst the general population it counted against him. He was an unpopular person. People saw his talent and his competence in what he was doing, but they did not like the way he was doing it.

    I loved it.

  4. Fell asleep during Media Watch and woke up towards the end of Q&A to some blonde guy parrotting the Government line on “Boats”. Switched over to re-reruns of the Big Bang Theory.

  5. Morning all. Nice to see a late swing towards Clinton in the US race. With all the focus there I have only just noticed how the Coalition’s vote here is also on the slide. Malcolm’s attempts to appease the wrong right by further demonising refugees is not fooling the majority of the Australian public. For all the divisiveness of both Australian and US politics of late, it is nice to see that the majority of people in both countries still care about living in a just society.

  6. A clear article on Trump’s possible paths to victory, with 3 possible outlined

    If Trump wins Florida and Ohio and North Carolina (and protects the GOP turn of Arizona and Utah and Georgia), he would stand at 253 electoral votes — 17 shy of the magic number of 270.

    Those final 17 electoral votes have proved trickiest. Here are his treacherous paths:”

    It’s great to see that even Politico, a right leaning blog, can only see a few possible paths to Trump winning. They also gloss over Nevada, which republicans could easily lose.

  10. The Senate should now pass a Marriage Equality bill and send it to the House, where it will be rejected. This would make it clear that it’s the Government that’s killing it off.

    Or it might be accidentally passed.

  11. Sprocket
    Has Nate Silver jumped the shark?
    If we assume that Trump needs to win Florida, Ohio and North Carolina before even being in the race, the probability of this occurring is as follows:
    Fivethirtyeight – Nate’s own estimates – gives Trump poll forecasts of Florida 48.6%, North Carolina 48.7%, and Ohio 65%. If we multiply out these probabilities we get 0.48×0.49×0.65 = 0.15.
    i.e. Trump, using fivethirtyeight’s own figure has a 15% chance to even be in the race, as sweeping these states still doesn’t give him enough votes.
    Yet fivethirtyeight says Trump has a 31.5% chance of winning the presidency!
    This means that Silver is cooking the books with an overlay of uncertainty that hasn’t been factored in to his state electoral probabolities.

  12. Morning bludgers

    I am hoping that my high confidence of a Comfortable Clinton victory is not misplaced!
    I just cant see how Trump can get to 270 electoral votes.

    Meanwhile Vanity fair reporter is doing a running commentary via his twitterfeed of what his last six months investigation of Trump has turned up. Any other. Presidential nominee would have been run out of town

    ‘I didn’t watch 7.30, but this is a little disturbing.’

    Me neither, but this is hardly surprising from Sales. The fact that someone of her abilities is fronting 7.30 tells you everything you need to know about the current ABC.

  14. Ltep @5:10AM Still awaiting some sense of a policy agenda from the Government

    The Government’s agenda is to to gradually implement their big business backers’ wish list: dismantle and privatise what’s left of the post-war settlement. So they want to wind back Medicare, replacing it with lightly regulated private insurance arrangements and user-pays; replace social welfare with low-paid work; privatise the delivery of education; and so forth.

    No one wants this, so they can’t talk about it. So we get Boats, 18C and other ‘Culture War’ stuff and dogwhistling. Right Wingers have found that they can garner votes using distractions, they don’t need to try and sell their real agenda.

  15. Trog S

    I have previously posted analysis from Sam Wang Neuroscientist at Princeton, as well as Matthew Dowd ABC poll analysist. They both believe Silver is using some type of flawed methodology. As Silver hasnt set out the exact method he employs, they are not confident he is on the right track

  16. steve777

  19. Good Morning

    Victoria.

    I cannot fault the Labor tactics team. They have done well its just a pity that their excellent work fell one seat short last election.

    I put that down to the fact that its hard to combat the Murdoch propaganda. Its a measure of their success that Murdoch was ignored in Western Sydney and Tasmania.

  20. Victoria
    It looks like Silver is magnifying some sort of factor related to turnout, which is the only thing that could account for such a huge disparity between polls and actual election results.

  21. Great day in the morning! : )

    53-47

    The electorate just want someone with a half decent, with the emphasis on ‘decent’, agenda to lead them.

  22. Electing the CEO of Origin Energy to head the BCA will be a gimme for Labor. Every time the guy says anything Labor will simply have to say, ‘Well he would say that, wouldn’t he? Can’t trust ’em to be objective, so best ignored.’

    538 seems to be serving up some very strange results. The model has been criticised for having ‘fat tails’ which I have no idea about, but amount to rigging of the results for whatever reason. So far as I can see, Silver seems to be artificially inflating the chances of Trump winning.

    Here is one of the critical posts I found:

  25. This is so true with LNP in power

    MikeySlezak: Klein: “there does seem to be something of a campaign against people using laws in this country to defend themselves”. #qanda

    A very important point on the government agenda. Like Klein said in Canada Harper tried that and lost. So too did Newman in Queensland. Since Baird started doing it Labor has been winning in the polls.

    A big lesson here for politicians.

  26. As I understand it from reading a profile of Nate Silver recently, that he has overcompensated in the Repugs favour this election cycle because they went to town on him the way the Conservatives in the Coalition do here on anyone they don’t like, like the ABC. So he has modified his gut feeling index, which of course favours the Republicans more as a result.

  34. Trog
    Sam Wang commented on this recently. Silver seems to be treating polling uncertainty differently, making it an across the board factor, not state by state. So if polls are 2% low for Trump, he assumes that could be nationwide. It greatly increases the impact of polling risk. Given that there are very different fsctors involved in the swing states e.g. latino turnout in Florida vs black turnout in North Carolina, I think this is a very questionable assumption, but he has stuck with it.

    This aside he also only produces a current prediction based on polls now. That ignores the big early votes in some states, so again favours Trump as those votes have increased for latinos. Not bias, but a questionable assumption to simplify the maths. Whereas Wang uses a full stat model of every state, then I assume some form of Monte Carlo simulation of the possible combinations. This takes a lot of computing power, but that is no problem if you have the Princeton maths department at your disposal.

    Thanks a lot to digest indeed. There is change in media narrative happening as the reality of the polling dawns.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    On the US election. Don’t forget that the narrative of a close race is what media likes to say to keep interest up.

    As John Barron points out how many that approve of Obama are going to vote for Trump?

  39. If Labor waves this latest ‘Boats’ though-bubble through, the Government will just try something more outrageous next time they need a distraction. Same strategy that Abbott adopted for “National Security” (which is probably next cab off the rank).

    Labor should simply say something like “This is crap. It won’t create a single job, it won’t help fund health or education, it won’t make housing more affordable. Put down the dogwhistle and try to govern if you can.”

  40. Sam Wang also has some very interesting analysis of the scandalous extent of gerrymandering of Congressional districts in US states. Four in particular stand out – Florida, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. How bad is it? In Michigan last time the democrats got 51% of the vote and won 5 of 14 seats!

  43. Thank you Mr. BK for your excellent roundup.
    As usual a great source of information.

    Ask yourself, as I did while reading Senator Robert’s report and adjusting the wire coat hanger I use as an alpha-wave filter, could it be because we have to compete with dolphins?

    My task for today will be to incorporate the Roberts filter into my foil hat. The hat was allowing unwanted information to leak through.

    Yesterdays ABC article about glass sided toasters has prompted me to wonder why we cannot have glass taps so that we, the absent minded, not with it and ready for aged care internment, will know when the kitchen sink is about to overflow. I am not sure how either will work and I am thinking of incorporating a receiver in my wire filter equipped tin foil hat.
    That should work. 😎
