At last, a second poll to back the notion that Labor has taken a hit in recent weeks. The latest Roy Morgan face-to-face survey has Labor’s lead at 56-44: healthy enough in absolute terms, but down from 61-39 last week and 60.5-39.5 at the previous regular fortnightly survey. Labor is down 4.5 per cent on [...]

Newspoll: ??-??
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 – 4:36 pm
Following last week’s surprising and almost certainly rogue Newspoll result, The Australian sent its pollster out into the field again over the weekend for an eagerly anticipated follow-up survey.

The 574-sample phone poll was probably conducted to get [...]
Morgan: 57.5-42.5
Sunday, June 14, 2009 – 9:08 am

Something like normal service will resume as of tomorrow night’s Newspoll. Other [...]
