Turnbull is polling worse than Abbott.
No amount of spin or fake news will change that fact.

Former Treasury secretary John Stone says Malcolm Turnbull is actually doing far worse in the polls than did Tony Abbott as Prime Minister on two critical measures:
The Coalition under Turnbull has now been consistently behind in Newspoll by four or more percentage points (that is, 48 Coalition, 52 Labor, or worse) for 14 polls in a row. Under Abbott as PM the Coalition was never consecutively behind by this big a margin for more than eight polls.
Note also that the main period when Abbott was behind by that much for eight straight Newspolls was directly after the tough 2014-15 budget — when his government was at least fighting for difficult decisions designed to address our longer-term debt and deficit problem, rather than, as recently, showering voters with tens of billions in extra debt-fuelled spending to try to buy a Newspoll bounce.
As for metric two, the Coalition’s primary vote has now been at a catastrophic 37 per cent or less for eight successive Newspolls (and below 40 per cent for 14 consecutive polls). Under Abbott as PM the Coalition’s primary vote was never so consistently at such low levels — hitting 37 per cent or less for just six straight polls immediately after that hardline 2014-15 budget before rising back to 40 per cent, and again just twice in a row in November 2014.
Otherwise, for almost the whole period of almost six years that Abbott was leader of the opposition or PM, the Coalition’s primary vote was more than 40 per cent — and for a fair part of that time, more than 45 per cent.
Malcolm Turnbull is destroying the Liberal party. It will have abandoned its principles without having kept power. That is losing with dishonour.
UPDATE
Yesterday's Essential Media poll: Labor 53, Coalition 47.

Hairy, you didn't address my previous post or the one you replied too, lets try again

Hairy we know LNP are behind in the polls but that doesn't prove Turnbull is the problem.

So unless you can show proof that Turnbull is the reason LNP are behind in the polls we are calling your anti-Turnbull posts fake news and alternative fact.

I will add, show evidence LNP polling would improve if Turnbull was replaced and by whom.
