Newspoll and Ipsos state breakdowns

State breakdowns from recent polling by both Newspoll and Ipsos agree that Queensland remains a major headache for the Turnbull government.

The Australian has today brought us its quarterly Newspoll breakdowns, whereby three months of polling is condensed into results broken down for the five mainland states, so as to provide such numbers from reliable sample sizes. That much at least was predictable, but we also have today the same exercise from Ipsos courtesy of the Fairfax papers, which is a first. This is because Ipsos poll samples have been pared back from 1400 to 1200, presumably for reasons of cost, and the pollster no longer cares to publish state breakdowns from such small sub-samples, and has thus gone down the Newspoll path of aggregating them on a quarterly basis.

The Australian provides comprehensive Newspoll tables if you’re a subscriber (also featuring breakdowns by gender, three age cohorts and mainland state capitals versus the rest), but all we’ve got from Fairfax so far as I can see is two-party results (more detail may follow in due course). In New South Wales, Newspoll has Labor leading 52-48, while Ipsos has 53-47 (there’s an error in the Fin Review graphic, but that’s what it is); in Victoria, it’s 53-47 from Newspoll, and no less than 56-44 from Ipsos (which is most of the reason Ipsos’s results have been better for Labor lately than Newspoll’s); in Queensland, it’s 53-47 from Newspoll, 52-48 from Ipsos; in Western Australia, Newspoll has it at 50-50, while Ipsos unusually has the Coalition up 53-47; and in South Australia, Newspoll has Labor up 51-49, while Ipsos has it at 52-48 (the latter is inclusive of the Northern Territory, although that shouldn’t matter much – ditto for Newspoll rolling the Australian Capital Territory into New South Wales).

All of which should put BludgerTrack on a firmer footing for its update later this week, despite the likelihood that there will be no new national poll. Also out today is a ReachTEL state poll from Victoria, which is covered in the post below.

  1. Good Morning Bludgers 🙂

    Good numbers but still disturbing that, after all the stumbles, One Nation is strong. The cult of personality in politics, eh?

  3. WA seems to have softened significantly for Labor, perhaps voters exercising their frustration against state Libs took some of the steam out of it.

  4. The Yankee Dollar is attempting to take over global politics with bully boy tactics, and it’s disgusting:

    New York: A resolution to encourage breastfeeding was expected to be approved quickly and easily by the hundreds of government delegates who gathered this spring in Geneva for the United Nations-affiliated World Health Assembly.

    Based on decades of research, the resolution says that mother’s milk is healthiest for children and countries should strive to limit the inaccurate or misleading marketing of breast milk substitutes.

    Then the US delegation, embracing the interests of infant formula manufacturers, upended the deliberations.

    American officials sought to water down the resolution by removing language that called on governments to “protect, promote and support breastfeeding” and another passage that called on policymakers to restrict the promotion of food products that many experts say can have deleterious effects on young children.

    When that failed, they turned to threats, according to diplomats and government officials who took part in the discussions. Ecuador, which had planned to introduce the measure, was the first to find itself in the cross hairs.

    The Americans were blunt: If Ecuador refused to drop the resolution, Washington would unleash punishing trade measures and withdraw crucial military aid. The Ecuadorean government quickly acquiesced.

    I breastfed my first baby for 16 months, including the transition to hard foods, but not the second due to palate deformity, so there is a place for formula, but breast is best!

    “Crowe eats crow”. Not really. He is just reporting breakdown of previous 3 polls. It is no surprise knowing how the breakdown was in last 3 polls.
    We actually do not know how it is now and how it will be on by-election polling day although I hope ALP wins all its 4 seats.

  16. Trump is expected to announce his Scotus nominee soon, and you can just imagine how rightwing reactionary that person will be, giving Republicans the potentially activist Supreme Court they’ve been wanting for decades.

    Monday night, before a national audience, the president is expected to hand a rose to his second nominee to the Supreme Court. The retirement of Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, the court’s swing vote, gives Trump the chance to give conservatives the majority they worked decades to achieve. And that will give them a chance to take a sledgehammer to rights they abhor, from abortion to same-sex marriage.

    The nation remains appalled by Trump’s morally bankrupt “zero-tolerance” policy, which separated migrant children from their parents at the border and set up jails for babies. Now that his feckless administration is under court order to reunite the children with their parents, its sheer incompetence is plain for all to see. Just when you thought the callous disregard for these children couldn’t get any worse, the New York Times reported last week that “records linking children to their parents have disappeared, and in some cases have been destroyed.” And don’t forget that the Trump administration is going after naturalized U.S. citizens now, too.

    There has been a change of government in Ecuador. There was no point pressuring the original government and to be honest I cannot see Obama pressuring any nation of breast feeding.

    Trump himself was probably more likely to pressure the Ecuador govt to keep Assange, although the security mob may have other ideas.

    Black comedy indeed. However, who died in England because of Nerve gas agent? Is that person Russian? Why there is no outcry from TMay about it accusing Russia? What is proof that Russia is involved with that attack?

  38. Victoria

    Labor leads the Coalition by 51 to 49 per cent of the two-party preferred vote in the survey of 1500 voters taken last week, maintaining the government’s election-winning lead by a slender margin.

    But on the key battleground issues of congestion, population pressures and crime, the Liberals have leads over Labor, with slightly more voters believing the opposition has the answers to the big questions facing the state.

    This is what I thought would happen. The temporary disruption from road and railworks beaten up by the Liberals, and CH7 exaggerating the ‘crime wave’. When police don’t support their fear campaign, media says “police reluctant to admit to the figures”.

    Fact that so many buy into it is very disappointing

  46. President Trump is expressing fresh interest in Judge Thomas M. Hardiman, the runner-up for last year’s Supreme Court vacancy, as he pushes his decision on a replacement for Justice Anthony M. Kennedy into the final hours before his self-imposed deadline of Monday night, three people close to the process said.

    And why?

    Judge Hardiman has also had an important supporter within the Trump family. He served with Judge Maryanne Trump Barry, Mr. Trump’s sister, on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, in Philadelphia. Judge Barry recommended Judge Hardiman to her brother last year as a good choice for the court, according to two people close to Mr. Trump.

    I wonder if the Coach will explain why he took the children through a gap only a foot or so high, so many kilometres into the mountain.

    Character building.

    I suspect you are being unfair

    I thought they went through the gap BECAUSE they were trapped. There was I think what was thought to be a relatively safe “beach” but it too got flooded.

    If that is indeed the case the coach is to be praised for getting them through the gap to safety.
    I also gather that these caves are a popular hang out for the locals and all the boys do some exploring.

    The sign at the entrance said do not enter in JULY but it was in fact still June.

    We must not be so bloody culturally biased. They have not got the safety culture there as strongly as we do – look at the road safety figures. Note in the picture of the team only two wore bike helmets.

    Yes in Australia of today any coach who let kids even enter the caves would be a fool but go back to our parent’s generation and it would have been normal.

    Hey just think of the Famous Five books where the kids spent their holidays undergound with only Timmy the dog for protection – yes of course it is fiction but it was not considered unusual for kids to do that soort of risky thing.

    One series I adored as a kid (it was also approved by the literati set) was Swallows and Amazons. 6 kids spend their holidays boating BY THEMSELVES. This included an EIGHT year old. Neither mothers nor fathers were particularly worried.

    We have such a widely different perspective these days. I guess when kids could die of pneumonia or from a fall from a horse or in vehicle accidents, there was a different attitude to risk. The coach lost his entire family to an epidemic. If you family can die while staying safely at home what is a bit of caving?
