I don't believe he's popularity has soared above Tony Abbotts.... they have not even mentioned what polls... just "the polls" apparently.
The same polls which said Gillard would be a preferred alternative to Rudd, though has again, fallen backwards?
When the media speak of "the polls" without sourcing which poll specifically, you know who's poll it is.
Spin-doctors polls.

The UN would love Australia to become a republic, doing away with the constitution would suit their globalist objective.
Turnbull belongs with Labor, Abbott needs to ditch him, he's an opportunist corporate UN anal dweller.
Just watch Channel 7 endorse him though, they love their Jewish roots.
