The questions in the table are from this week’s sample. Given the 4-pt drop in Labor’s vote over a 2-wk rolling sample, this week’s was probably a 52-48. Hence, comparison with the last time that question was asked will tend to favour the Libs by more than one would expect.

The thing about that first table, ‘who does a better job?’ is that it shows Labor has dropped 10 points on every issue mentioned.

True TWM, and Labors ad din’t do them any favours. All it did was confirm their weakness.

I think the thing that scares me more than the silliness of the debate over the last week (from a public debate perspective, from the perspective of a political junkie it was hilarious) is the prospect of 18 months straight of ‘debt and deficit’ coming from the coalition; no more no less. FFS both parties have put out TV ads. As if they don’t give us the shits in a 4-6 week campaign enough, we could get it for 74-76 weeks (a rough calculation of 18 months.) I mean, all the best to Turnbull; he’s got to do what he’s got to do, but it’s going to get painful if we don’t get a DD.

Let’s be honest, if Labor received a primary vote of 45% at the next election it would be a wipeout. Not even I believe that will happen.
