Imacca! The Economy

Lets remember that if the ALP had 57% support that has now dropped to 53% that could well be Liberal voters who at first like aspects of the Rudd Government but are now not happy with increasing job insecurity comfirming in the short term at least that the ALP are indeed a high debt high unemployment government.

As you write the poll numbers move around and we know that Rudd is well in front but considering the current let of issues facing the Government this is actually a good poll result remembering the next election is next year.

Well there you go: Talcum finally shuts up for a few weeks, and his numbers improve! It’ll be that, plus a bit of stat noise, if you ask me.

No government stays popular forever.
Perhaps Possum can enlighten us on the longest period over which a government has stayed ahead in the polls. If Rudd hasn’t already broken the record he must be close to it.

Finns it feels as though a huge weight has been lifted off the Party and we can now go out boldly into the future and get on with it….

Going to Costello now or after 2010 would have been like going to Kimbo after 2004 a waste of time…

Time to look to the future…

No 870

Alex Hawke, perhaps? Although, he’s too inexperienced. If Ciobo can bring in more cardboard Kevs, he can be the MOB.

Well, cant say i’m thrilled at 53/47. Be interesting to know why?? The only really negative thing that seems to have happened during the period seems to be Fitzgibbon going and a change in Defence minster isn’t going to shift 4% of primary vote. Cant see CPRS shifting votes away from the ALP at the moment. News on the economy has been pretty upbeat.

Although the trend for the ALP has been down for a while, it will be interesting to see if this is a consistent shift (i dont think it is) or a low outlier. Suggesting this an outlier isn’t whinging by the way. We know there are high ones and it follows there will be low ones. I’m genuinely interested in what PBers think may be the reasons behind the result.

Glen, Rudd and Gillard should display more delight. Cossie was your security blanket.

Now you are all alone, like a completely unknown, like a rolling stone. How does it feel?
