Newspoll: Morrison 51 to 49 Labor!
21.09.20.
Our exalted leader bestows his blessing on all his adoring voters.
Ah yes, the trusty polls again. For now there is only one show in town—the Coalition.
However, Labor under poor, dog-eared Albanese is a lost cause—mere whispers on a quiet night like the wind murmuring across the garbage dump for useless political parties.
An effective opposition would see very different numbers. But given that Morrison is really the only viable option, today’s figures should be more like 70 t0 30. ScoMo’s 51 to 49 is not so good after all some might venture?
The Coalition has rebounded from a fall in popular support at the height of Scott Morrison’s border wars with the Labor state premiers last month, as Labor leader Anthony Albanese’s approval ratings tumble into negative territory for the first time.
An exclusive Newspoll conducted for The Australian shows a two-point rise in the Coalition’s primary vote to 43 per cent and a corresponding fall for Labor, which has returned to near-historical lows of 34 per cent.

The swing back to the government has seen it regain its two-party-preferred advantage over Labor (51 to 49), which had drawn level in the previous poll of three weeks ago.
The lift for the government follows the release of the Prime Minister’s energy policy last week that set out a roadmap for a gas-led economic recovery and an agreement by the states to lift the cap on returning up to 24,000 Australians from overseas before Christmas.
Mr Morrison has also recovered from a sizeable drop in approval ratings three weeks ago during the heated clash with Victoria and Queensland over the stalled recovery and the strict social lockdowns and border closures.
Satisfaction with Mr Morrison’s performance rose a point to 65 per cent while those dissatisfied with the Liberal leader fell a point to 31 per cent.
The improvement maintains Mr Morrison’s long-running popularity since the pandemic but is still short of the record highs in support in June and July when he reached 68 per cent approval.
The story was not so positive for the Opposition Leader, who was sidelined during last week’s energy debates that renewed deep divisions within the Labor caucus.
For the first time this year, the Labor leader’s net approval ratings went negative, with a four-point fall to 39 per cent in satisfaction levels compared with 40 per cent dissatisfied.
Mr Morrison has also recovered ground as the preferred prime minister after a significant cut to his margin in the last poll.
The number of people backing Mr Morrison as the better PM rose a point to 59 per cent while those supporting Mr Albanese fell two points to 27 per cent.
A total of 14 per cent of voters were undecided.
At a primary vote of 43 per cent, the Coalition remains ahead of its election result.
Labor’s primary vote of 34 per cent is marginally better than its 33.3 per cent election result, which marked a low point in the party’s history.
The latest poll shows Labor losing votes to both the Coalition and the Greens, which lifted its support a point to 12 per cent compared with its 10.4 per cent election result.
Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party remained steady at 3 per cent, marking little change since the 2019 poll.
There was a 1 per cent markdown in voter support for other minor parties and independents.
The two-party-preferred vote of 51-49 reflects the position the government was in during June as Victoria descended into its second wave COVID-19 outbreak.
Its greatest lead over Labor was in mid-July when the margin stretched to 53-47.
The poll was conducted between September 16 and 19, with a sample size of 2068 surveys conducted on line across capital cities and the regions.

I’s an opinion poll – that’s all. The only poll of any substance is on election day.

Mid COVID, we’ve just had a visit from some of our inner ciDDy rellies.
Knowing their political persuasion, I dutifully kept my solemn promise to my better half to keep the conversation far, far away from anything remotely political.
But they ( the visiting rallies) didn’t.
It’s as if they live in a different country – make that planet – to the one I thought I lived in.
For instance, I learned that Donald Trump will attempt to steal the election by continuing (note that word) to cheat, lie and break every law in the land AS HE HAS BEEN DOING DAILY FOR 3.5 YEARS.
I also learned that he will refuse to vacate the White House after he is (thoroughly) defeated in November and that it will be HIM and the Republicans who will attempt to fudge the postal voting.
When I mentioned allegations of the dead rising from the grave in their thousands in some counties in South Carolina in 2016, it was met with open incredulity and scorn. (The Democrats don’t indulge in such practices on that other Planet Earth.) Although they didn’t have an answer to my quoting Gough Whitlam when he expressed incredulity that a defeated Labor member of parliament should lose his seat when there were three cemeteries in his electorate. (Gough’s word – whatever it is – is sacrosanct on Planet Otherearth.)
When I mentioned that the mayor of Nashville has fudged the stats on Coronavirus infectious in bars and clubs, needlessly putting people out of work, they hadn’t heard that (they listen only to the ABC) and they couldn’t understand why he would do so, and when I said it was to make Donald Trump look bad, they openly scoffed.
Probably not one of the more successful family gatherings we’ve had, but the wife acknowledges that I wasn’t the one to open proceedings, and I was the one to steer the conversation on to safer topics. And while remaining on those safer topics, we all had a very jolly time.

Yes, I understand and sympathize, Cliff. I have ‘Green’ associates and relatives who are like that. I noticed, too, they are always quick and keen to ram their opinions down your throat.
You can’t reason with them, save your breath and your health ( and vote appropriately!)

Oils ain’t oils and polls ain’t polls, or are they?
Refers (pay-walled) https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/que ... 2da2660b5f
For example: COVID-19
Which leader is most capable of leading Queensland’s economic recovery out of the COVID pandemic? Winner is Freckles at 39.76%, Puzzleduck behind at 30.47% and Neither 29.77%
Another result:
Who is best placed to govern QLD after the election?
LNP at 58.6%, Labor 31.6%
Another one:
Would you support another major infrastructure project like the Bradfield Scheme?
67.5% of Queenslanders support the Bradfield Scheme.
And a critical one for this coming Queensland Election:
Do you support the sale of state-owned assets to lower debt and provide funds to invest in infrastructure?
NO at 52.9% YES at 33.2%

Was in a little joint on the scenic rim yesterday where they had a Sunday market and the LNP and One Nation had booths there. People were basically ignoring the LNP booth in favour of the One Nation booth. Most of the country folk I spoke to were of the opinion that the LNP has let them down over the years. They have and the coming State election will prove that.

It won’t matter who gets sufficient votes to exercise their version of Governing for the People! The State is broke! Greens and Labor have effectively destroyed any future growth. Unless LNP, hopefully “guided” by PHON and Katter can win sufficient seats the place will languish in economic doldrums for another 10 years.

Interesting result from Newspoll. My latest poll of me by me has them running equal at 0 to 0.
