Penny Wong becomes Australia's most popular politician

Australians have rated Foreign Minister Penny Wong the nation’s most impressive leader despite a recent fall in support for the federal government, giving her a net likeability of 14 per cent when many other leaders have negative results.

An exclusive survey also reveals the challenges for the government in holding support ahead of the next election, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese slumping to minus 3 per cent in net likeability after soaring to 34 per cent just one year ago.

But the findings show Opposition Leader Peter Dutton suffers from a deeper problem with the community because his net likeability rating is minus 12 per cent despite a slight improvement over the past year.

Former Nationals leader and deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce has a net rating of minus 27 per cent and One Nation leader Pauline Hanson is on minus 25 per cent.
