Time for a new thread. Here’s a chart showing state-level swings to Labor as recorded by Newspoll throughout the campaign. Note that the most recent result seems to indicate a mild Coalition recovery in Victoria being offset by worsening results elsewhere.

I’m made a high res copy of it on our xerox here and saved the page for later – good fun
Paul K that could be my favourite but that would gross out the Julie who posts on pollbludger lol.
betfair – someone was asking just a bit ago
alp – 1.24 coalition 4.90
lindsay – 1.01 alp, 7.00 liberal, anyone else 25
They were just blowing off steam.
Where is this galaxy stuff coming from?
Unitl I see the Galaxy poll I will be a doubting Thomas
Toby @297, meaningless platitudes, and short.
And no tears I suspect, he absolutely knows he is gone already.
well 60% of SKY viewers think the Lindsay affair will harm the governments chances in the seat. That probably equates to 90% of the community!!!
I think Howard’s concession speech will be uncharacteristically gracious. He will thank everybody. He will wish the country well.
Then he will say goodbye.
Forever.
Michael — it’s a rumour passed on by Grooski. No idea whether it is true.
Geepee even if he loses he’ll be liked by more Australians than Paul J Keating.
My guess is galaxy will be static at 53; the other will rise a point to 55.
What Morgan blows out to is anyone’s guess.
lol @ Glen

you poor, deluded Liberal voter
The Galaxy Poll is for Higgins.
310 [Geepee even if he loses he’ll be liked by more Australians than Paul J Keating.]
It’s the first thing I’ll have ever liked about Howard when he loses.
Surely the polls will come out saturday not tomorrow?!?!
Everyone loves Keating now, especially the kids, look at the number of PJK fanclubs on facebook.
ruawake, does that mean there is no National Galaxy Poll?
310
Yes, Glen, and the most popular car in Australia has hitherto been a Holden Commodore. But that doesn’t mean it’s better than a Maserati
Grooski reckons they’re all out overnight.
ND there is meant to be a National Galaxy Poll
all Labor party members
Re 301,
Glen Says:
No, not offended
……. that song, btw, was big in America when it first came out and I was about 12 as I recall. I have lived with this one for a number of years 
… and besides, when you guys all mention my name with no surname I know who you are talking about anyways 
So long as ACN stays above or equal to 53-47 I will be confident. If any of the polls comes in at 52-48 I will be a bit nervous, because we haven’t had a poll like that since Rudd has been leader have we?
Geepee @ 308,
Actually (showing my age a bit here) Howard’s 1987 concession speech was the most gracious I can remember (though I don’t remember them all). I don’t think he’s very likely to disgrace himself on the night.
Glen
He’ll lose alright.
And I disagree about PJK. e is still widely admired by many, me inc.
Not many people admire, or even like, Howard.
It’s not even auf wiedersehen. It’s Untergang (or Götterdämmerung)
Glen,
So many Julie’s. So little time.
ruawake Says: “The Galaxy Poll is for Higgins.
”
Is this true?
Madonna King is having a panel discussion on the polls tomorrow at 8:30 am.
Apparently all the major polls will be out. Antony Green is listed as one of the commentators.
Still reckon the polls will be out Saturday
Ruawake: you’re joking! There’s no way anyone would be polling Higgins.
No, it’s another short and jocular comment.
I doubt there’ll be anything tonight. They usually all poll big right up to the last day to get the most accurate reading for bragging rights. Galaxy releasing a national poll today wouldn’t make sense -
George
No sorry.
Newspoll and AC Nielsen put out their last minute polls in the Saturday/election day papers, or that’s what they’ve done in previous years.
Rudd’s interview on after the commercial break on Sky …..
I am not so sure what coverage to watch on Saturday?
ABC -Gillard and Minchin zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
7 – Hockey Kennet, Beattie
9 – Ray and Oakes
?????
Peachy @ 298
” b) The Australian Rain Corp is 75% Swiss-owned, and one of the main if not the chief shareholders in this Swiss company is Turnbull. Therefore his grant of $10 million is effectively a payoff to himself ”
Looks like Turnbull is going the way of the ‘Tirpitz’ – didn’t even get out of the shed for a run.
If it really is 50:50, David Spears will no doubt be crowing about it on Sky.
I assume the Madonna King interview with Green is about the existing polls and the State breakdowns.
Glen @ 310: Will John Howard have a musical written about him? I doubt it.
Julie let me gues what he’s going to say. whilst moving his right arm all over the place
When it comes to…
Working families…
Very mean of Grooski to lob a rumour grenade into the discussion and then leave. Now I am chained to my computer for the next 12-24 hours. Grrrrrr.
I thought we’d already received confirmation a while ago that some were being released tomorrow. Nothing new.
who the f* is madonna king?
Andos the Great Says: “Glen @ 310: Will John Howard have a musical written about him? I doubt it.”
Andos, they already have – it’s called “Springtime for Hitler”
Howard – Keating
Man who wasted boom – Man who created boom
They will be linked forever with Howard the loser who wasted the opportunies Keatings courage created.
Hope Rudd cracks a ton on saturday
Well everybody. I’m off now. Got no work at all done today – my first ever period of posting to this addictive site.
Love youse all (even you Glen, at least you have the civilising trait of speaking German).
Two more sleeps!
