Should Abbott step down?

[skippy]

Oh Skippy.... can we have a comment on the latest polls results please...

Yea sure. Labor would win if an election were held today.
Shorten is preferred PM.
Turnbull is preferred Lib leader.
Abbott looks like getting rolled this week.
Anything else?

How's your local MP going? I see that she is now a Blonde!



She used to be a brunette.

She looked better as a brunette.

You opinion of the poll result?

Well I think it's a very interesting result. News lmd along with most of the media say voters have already factored in Abbott will not be PM for much longer so are showing their voting intention already for when he's rolled. That sounds like media spin to me but the one certainty I have noticed in the last few weeks is that Abbott has lost the support of News lmd. That's as good as death for his career.
If that's the case the Libs could still lose the next election even if they dump Abbott.
I would have thought a change of leader would give them a better bump than that.
The point remains the biggest moron Labor has ever put forward as their leader is still preferred PM over Abbott, that's the Libs biggest problem. Labor should be no where near the coalition given the last election result but have lead the whole term bar six weeks after the last election.
If I were a righty I'd say it was a rogue poll.
Last week the coalition had a horror week, AGAIN, the poll makes no sense.

Well that's actually Fairfax spin...

I can't read Newsltd remember.
But I did read Bolt at Maccas... his column today seems to be pretty spot on to me.

Q: Should Abbott step down?
A: No.

He won't. It's all a beat up by the leftard MSM. There has been a distinct out pouring by "rusted on" Liberals that, should Abbott be replaced by Turnbull, we will ALL vote INFORMAL at the next Election and that, perhaps, the National Party should begin to think about t.h.a.t.

Yeah skip. That's Fauxfacts bullshit and spun by the pollster themselves. Newscorp pulled them up on it as being fanciful bullshit as the polling itself show Abbott way out in front as preferred leader over Turnbull by conservative voters. Turnbull only rated a mention when you factor in who the leftists would like but never vote for.

Fancy you falling for spin and lies...I never would have picked you for being a gullible fucking moron

Well you're not going to be happy with News lmd own polling then IQ. Out today and Abbott is in more shit.

PRIME Minister Tony Abbott’s approval rating is up in the latest Newspoll, but Labor is still dominating on a two-party preferred basis.
For the 19th Newspoll in a row, Labor has maintained its two-party lead and is now in front of the Coalition 55 per cent to 45 per cent.
According to the latest survey, published by The Australian, the Government’s primary support remains steady at 38 per cent, although well below its 45.6 per cent election result.
Labor is up one point at 39 per cent, the Greens remain at 12 per cent, and independents and minor parties have 11 per cent.

Meanwhile, satisfaction with Mr Abbott’s performance, which has recently hit record lows, was given a three-point boost to 28 per cent.

But Shortens went up too.

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten’s satisfaction rating also has risen, by four points to 39 per cent.

But none the less nineteen news polls in a row say the coalition would be belted by a Shorten led Labor party.
Lucky for the coalition Labor have such a poor leader.

That's a surprise. With the Coalition hype after the spill and the next poll showing his popularity had jumped way up, Abbott's job seemed cemented in. Now it's down again - he would be worried.

The poll that counts is still a year and a half away, skip.

Shooting your load so early in the evening is bad karma ...

Tongues are wagging again and Tony Abbott is the cause... in the midst of the entitlement rorts debacle, he says the Government is doing well and should guard against complacency...
Doing well? Then boy, were they doing badly before.
Tony's inability to make correct decisions and apparent out-of-touch-edness has once more come to the fore...

Delusion, thy name is Tony. It's funny to everyone except, apparently, Abbott himself. It was like his gag on Thursday morning when he declared that "everything this government does is about jobs". The statistician supplied the punchline almost immediately – June unemployment had worsened from to 6.1 per cent to 6.3, the highest in 13 years.

People will be asking themselves just what does this governments stand for and is Abbott's leadership, the reason it is doing so badly?

Time for change? Well in February, they gave him till Xmas... time will tell.
But they can't wait any longer if they are to make a move.

If I had said that - you would have called me a hater. I don't think Abbott is that bad. He's still a better option than Shorten. His style is a bit extreme, but he appears to be basically honest.
