Poll Tracking

[Sockpuppet Monk]

$42Bn has bought Rudd how many votes now I wonder?

It's a lot of taxpayers money going to feed Rudds ego and keep his popularity up. What better way- cash handouts!

[Sockpuppet Monk]

Oops popularities slipping- here plebs have another $900

It's fucking yours and your grandkids anyway- but by then you will owe a fucking lot more than $900 each.

Pork works, Kruddy has given away billions in future taxes. His popularity is a reflection of that vote buying.

[Sockpuppet Monk]

Not according to that fuckwit. In his eyes Kruddy, although has achieved absolutely nothing so far in his term has built his popularity out of seemingly nothing at all!

Handing out nearly $2000 to families over the course of a year has had nothing to do with his ratings? Yeah right

Fucking fool

[Leftofcentresalterego]

Yeah, leftofcredibility the troll is living in denial. Denial is about all he has so he might as well flaunt it.

Much like the fibs really. They still can't come to terms with the fact that fiscal stimuli can be a highly effective way to supplement demand during a downturn and prevent the arse from completely dropping out of everything and are hysterically trying to convince Australians that we all hate the spending programs that have been a big part of saving our economy from going into a complete nosedive. "Vote for Allbull and big Joe and we'll slash spending to the bone" - I hope they keep pushing that message because they don't appear to understand that it is helping to keep their ratings in the dismal zone.

The new party motto for the fibs seems to be: "when you reach rock bottom - start digging!"

Fine by me

Newspoll 55:45. At an election that would mean Labor gets 100 seats in the HoR. Turnbull viewed as preferred PM by *17* percent! Morgans Face to Face poll was 62:38.

Will these be the number at an election? I think at an actual election the numbers will be higher. Why? In the last week of an election there is a bit of a swing to the incumbent as people thinking of changing their vote decide to stick with the devil they know.

There will most likely be a DD in Sep next year--the Fibs will obligingly give Labor a pretext (not earlier, a year out from an election is too early because people don't like being asked to vote too often and the synchronising of the two Houses would be thrown off.) This would maximise the number of Green and LNP seats Labor will win. Won't get an absolute majority but the DD with its lower quota will allow a couple more independents to win a Senate seat--I doubt Labor will preference the Greens.

Well, it seems disunity is death, we either hang together or we will surely hang separately or something.

Newspoll: 58:42 TPP

The election is getting closer all the time, the pre boomers are dying all the time taking their high coalition vote with them, public squabbling within the Liberal Party, within the Coalition is reaping the usual result.

Coalition on 42% TPP, man, they need a PRIMARY of 42% to have any chance of winning an election! They will be wiped out at the next election!

If the two trolls were correct, now that the $900 cheques are just a memory, Rudd/ALP support should be diminishing, but thy are INCREASING!

Read Possum for all the details.

BTW, 25% of coalition supports think Rudd is best able to manage the GFC and only 60% of coalition supporters think Turnbull is!

Oh, and job ads up for two months in a row should mean the coalition will not recover for quite a while. We could be looking at an 60:40 federal election result!

Essential Research, 60:40, lots of interesting questions (the best part of ER)

Rightards all over the country are having heart attacks at those numbers monk.
I had a sweet old dear tell me yesterday that the Libs were really close to Labor with a primary of 42% she wont be happy to see that the primary has become the TPP.They really are bad numbers no matter what spin the Libs try to put on them.

[Jovial Monk]

The Coalition needs a primary of 42 to have a chance of winning. A TPP of 42 is oblivion!

Possum takes a different look at the polls: http://blogs.crikey.com.au/pollytics/20 ... -its-toll/

And the demographic trainwreck for the Fibs just keeps on happening.
