Dissatisfaction with the prime minister fell by a point to 31 per cent.More people were dissatisfied than satisfied with Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese, who recorded 40 per cent and 39 per cent respectively, with both levels moving in the wrong direction for Labor.The poll shows Labor losing votes to both the coalition and the Greens.The minor party saw a one-point uptick to 12 per cent since August.The coalition posted its greatest Newspoll lead over Labor in mid-July at 53:47.
