Newspoll: 53-47 to Labor

The second Newspoll for the year finds no continuation of the Coalition’s recent improving trend.

After a period of improving poll results for the Coalition, the latest Newspoll records a tiny shift on primary votes to Labor, but not another to alter their existing lead of 53-47 from a fortnight ago. Labor is up one point on the primary vote to 39%, after a three-point drop last time, while the Coalition is steady on 37%, retaining their two-point gain in the last poll. The Greens are steady on 9%, while One Nation is down a point to 5%, the lowest it’s been in a year. Scott Morrison’s personal ratings are improved, with approval up three to 43% and disapproval down two to 45%, and his lead as prime minister out from 43-36 to 44-35. Bill Shorten is down one on approval to 36% and up one on disapproval to 51%. The poll was conducted Thursday to Sunday from a sample of 1567.

  1. C@t

    I for one am very sorry to hear of your decision not to frequent these pages any more. I hope you will reconsider. It just won’t be the same tuning in each day and not seeing your moniker. Why don’t you sleep on it and have another think about it tomorrow.

  4. Burke up.
    Proposes an amendment to the motion.
    Burke uses Howard as a precedent.
    Argues that it is up to the House to assert its Constitutional ambit.
    Clever! Burke argues that the panel will not be remunerated!
    Very, very clever!

  5. Tony Burke suggesting adding an amendment that the doctors on the advisory panel not be paid, so therefore it won’t be a money bill.

  7. The question now is whether Labor has managed to round up the Cross benchers and whether the Greens decide once again to stab Labor in the back.

  10. Cat
    This is not the time for a break. All hands to the deck, we could be in an election tomorrow!
    PS
    Please don’t go.

    Yours and Lizzie’s posts are some of the first I look for when I log in.

    AND
    Gender balance!

  19. Thank you, lizzie, Victoria, Harry ‘Snapper’ Organs, Mavis Smith, Mike Hilliard, Question, KayJay, phoenixRED, The Silver Bodgie, Andrew_Earlwood, PuffyTMD, dave, Darn and Rex Douglas again! 😆

    Shucks, guys. 😳

    Professionals working for free? The Libs will be totally confused.

  25. C@t,
    I too will miss your posts. Take a break and and maybe consider changing your moniker which others have done to avoid the aggro.
    Probably not your style though.
    And welcome back Boerwar .
    Finally hear, hear Bushfire Bill…..good to see you still use that keyboard to pump out your entertaining rants .

  26. How good is that ….. Tony Burke just put a motion up that the Leader of the House Poodle Pyne be no longer heard.!

    they have just rung the bells.

    Karma is beautiful to watch. Pyne no longer be heard. Love it.

  27. I’m back from China and don’t need VPN. C@t don’t go – pretty please with sugar on top. Boerwar great to see your back.

    Time for the Tories to be put to the sword.

  28. C@t has made up her mind to leave and we should respect her decision. Goodbye C@t, you were an excellent warrior, but now the time has come for you to depart these shores and seek new adventures. Goodbye and good luck.

    No she hasn’t mind up her mind. She may take a break.
    She doesn’t need to take a break. Just ignoring your posts will do the trick

  32. This is intriguing, do not think Porter did well at all – as Burke said talked for 15 minutes without mentioning anyone who needs medical attention

    Bang

  37. BK and all who wrote about Chromecast and casting to TV..
    I have successfully set up my Windows 10 computer to cast to my LG (something or other) 40 inch (lots of cm) TV.

    I installed a tiny USB wireless dongle in the computer – set up the computer Connect system and set the computer to duplicate to TV. I used the TV setup to recognise the input et voila.

    Works really well. I can now view in magnificent detail whatever rubbish I write from the air conditioned comfort of my bedroom in layabout style. I’ve been meaning to do this (cast to TV) for about as long as I’ve been meaning to dump all the rubbish in my shed.

    All my various keyboards and mouses ( ❓ ) work very well.

    Thanks to all who wrote about this matter. 🕊 😇🕊

    Why don’t you worry about your own eminently forgettable posts?

    Damn and blast ! Now this is ONE time I really wish to be watching parliament.

  49. This is a huge defeat for the fear campaign

    Now the LNP have to let Boats through without seeing to do remembering they are losing the election if Essential is correct 🙂
