From 54-46 to 55-45, and Rudd PPM 59 to 62, Turnbull PPM 25 to 22!

It&#039;s obscene! (for you anyway!)</description>

		<description>So, while we&#039;re waiting, what games do we want to play?  Mine is what absolutely cretinous relative by marriage you&#039;ve managed to acquire.  I&#039;ve got a ripper.  She&#039;s a Lib. voter, of course, and tonight phoned to give me an earful because Mum had been moved into the high dependency unit.  It&#039;s all my fault, you see.  I&#039;d not thought I could cause dementia.</description>

		<description>[By comparison, just one in five voters would prefer Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull in the top job. His rating as the better prime minister has fallen by the same margin - 3 per cent - to record a 22 per cent rating. But it remains substantially higher than his predecessor Brendan Nelson. ]

Ouch.</description>
