Newspoll: 56-44 to Labor in Victoria
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 – 4:43 am
The latest bi-monthly Victorian Newspoll shows the state Labor government losing some of the support it attracted in the wake of the February bushfires, while still retaining a commanding lead. The two-party figure May-June is 56-44, down from an unsustainable 60-40 in January-February (evidently there was no poll in the interim). John Brumby’s approval rating [...]

The Poll Bludger’s Queensland election blogging activities will henceforth be conducted at Crikey’s Pineapple Party Time blog, which combines the energies of myself, Possum and Mark Bahnisch of Larvatus Prodeo.

11.15pm. A very strong performance by the Greens at the Lyneham booth in Molonglo (29.2 per cent) has been cancelled out by other late booths: the Greens (1.47) now trail the Liberals (2.49) in the hunt for the last quota.
11.07pm. I earlier said a third Labor seat in Ginninderra would go to Dave Peebles, but [...]
