The latest Morgan face-to-face survey of 897 respondents was conducted last weekend, at the worst possible time for Labor with respect to “utegate”, and it shows their two-party lead narrowing from 57-43 to 55-45. This is Labor’s weakest showing at a Morgan face-to-face poll since August 2008, a month before Malcolm Turnbull replaced Brendan Nelson as Liberal leader. Their primary vote is down from 48.5 per cent to 46 per cent, while the Coalition’s is up from 38 per cent to 41 per cent. The Greens are up from 7 per cent to 8.5 per cent; for what it’s worth, Family First are down from 2.5 per cent to 1 per cent.

Except for the members of the Cat Strangulation Society who reckon big bad Mal is a top bloke.
“MALCOLM Turnbull has paid for his botched attack on Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, with more than half of voters believing he was deceitful about a now-notorious fake email. Even among committed Coalition voters, nearly a third believe he has been deceitful and another 10 per cent say he has been dishonest. A Galaxy poll taken at the weekend has revealed the Opposition Leader’s integrity has taken a hammering, revealing a rump of only 7 per cent of voters who think he was “open and honest” during the affair.”
“Hit in the polls” my ass.

and of course the “101 uses for a dead cat” demographic

Seeing is believing…tv trumps news print.
I always had the feeling that Galaxy produce the most conservative figure of the lot, but just a feeling.
Gusface, Turnbull’s favourite book for sure.
Well Galaxy is showing the 2PP swing as the result of a rise in The Greens vote to 12%. That’s quite high compared to the other polls and I doubt Nielsen will replicate it.
Regardless of the TPP it seems that Turnbull has just become unelectable, with trust figures like that.
from my understanding the year of release was co-incidental to other feats of
catricide

Kev knew all along didn’t he Adam.

This is the link for the Newspoll story
So does that mean 56/44? Same as Galaxy?
whats the number???
ok why relase now? maybe sky has mixed up galaxy with newspoll?
Kev is still bigger than jesus then?
Kevin sees all, Kevin knows all. In Kevin we trust.
Steady on Zombie
He’s only a demi-god
If Labour up 3 then it’s 56/44 same as Galaxy.
Bring on the Member for North Sydney…
No, he’s stuffed too. Bring on Abbott, he’s the last Lib left standing.
This is where the Liberals will be most angry. The fired their single shot and missed badly, hurting themselves. The real problem for them now is it won’t work again, it was a once only trick. People wont believe it a second time.
Well we still have
Bilson
Hunt
Keenan
Morrison
After that we’ve got nothing…
The Member for Wentworth put it all on Red and it came up Black…
He was also playing on a fake table.
Steve K – Nice one!!
The chips were real though…
No one takes the 15 year old seriously. That dog won’t…
He needs to learn how to speak properly first.
Howard bowled Rudd 0
Costello retired ‘hurt’ 0
Nelson bowled Rudd 0
Turnbull ‘hit wicket’ 2
Coalition 4 for 2
In a first, Indonesians have stopped a people smugglers boat from landing that was heading from Australia to Indonesia. The only occupant was a cat that spoke with a Sydney eastern suburbs accent.
nielsen 58-42

Thomas id correct that scorecard…
Howard – stumped Rudd
Nelson – caught and bowled Rudd
Costello – retired ‘hurt’
Turnbull – handling the ball
lol
BTW what is with the cat reference that came up with this week?
See that video link I posted earlier…..this will what is going in Liberal Party HQ right now. Uncanny how something 8 months ago fits perfect now.
What is this.
Pollster Mazurka?
Hockey is outpolling Turnbull on prefered leader:
I think he was timed out, he had his chances years ago.
Turnbull – caught tampering with ball, banned for life.
*phut*
Oh Dear:

The Liberal party are calling this a CATastrophe, what with the leader suffering from CATatonic outbursts and frequent CATerwauling. A CAT scan revealed no obvious CATaracts inhis eye.
Although not a CATacylsm, there is certainly a feeling that voter disenchanment will CATch on.
Mr Turnbull CATegorically denied he read CATo as a student, tho he did admit reading CATcher in the rye.
And the Liberals are going to put him on a CATamaran and send him to Indonesia?
So I think Rudd toned it down in the Parliament because he knew he had a poll surge.
Neilson easily the worst of the these three
Newspoll & Galaxy are within normal volatility (eg Newspoll TPP is same as 4 weeks ago)
But the AC’s gonna cause some problems
Heh.
I guess 56/44 might then actually be a 54+
56+ I mean
Why is it that the Liberal party, that supposedly hates red tape and government regulation, has forced the government to increase read tape and regulation:

Who cares which country buys Australian debt. Australia is a mainly market, and internationalised economy!
The state of the Federal Liberal Party is getting as bad as the state of the Liberal Party of Victoria…
We dont deserve to get elected for a good while until we clean up our act, they all ought to be ashamed Menzies would think the lot of em are a disgrace!
Well hopefully this last episode will be an end to the smear type tactics from the Coalition. It has taken a few years…but hopefully this will convince them to give it up.
Your mob needs to stop nominating failed accountants and clapped out lawyers.
