Newspoll: 59-41 to Coalition
Word on Twitter is that Newspoll has the Coalition’s two-party lead out from 56-44 to 59-41, from primary votes of 27% for Labor (down two) and 51% for the Coalition (up three). But for a 26% result in the September 16-18 poll, this would be the lowest primary vote Labor had ever recorded since Newspoll commenced in 1985. The two-party figure ranks as the Gillard government’s equal worst result, along with the poll of September 2-4. Newspoll hasn’t always reported two-party preferred results, but my own calculations tell me there remain unbroken records from the respective honeymoon periods of Rudd (63-37 in February/March 2008) and Howard (60.5-39.5 in April 1996). Julia Gillard is up a point on disapproval to 63% and steady on approval at 28%, while Tony Abbott is down two on approval to 33% and up one on disapproval to 55%. Tony Abbott has widened the preferred prime minister lead he gained in the previous poll, from 41-39 to 41-36. As always, the sample for the poll was around 1150, with a margin of error of 3%.

____________ re Commons
The Lib-Dem have the balance of power …neither Labour or the Tories has a majority so the Lib-Dems went into coalition with the Tories
It will prove to be a dangerous bargain
The polls show the Tories have fallen to 29% and the Lib Dem by half from low 20ies to just 11% fatal!
Of c0urse Labour is up to 40%…but it’s leader Milliband is a former Blairite…and a former partner of the war criminal Blair who should by rights be on trial in The Hague
So don’t hope for anything from British Labour and you won’t be disapointed

deblonay @1851,
Thanks for that.
I may be very naive but why would labour support the findings just presented and then not push for anything further ?
This is a huge opportunity for a distinct point of difference between them and the tories.
cheers.
