Dave, I don't think the average voter is quite aware of the cuts they will get under Abbott. Not everyone follows politics closely.
As we get closer to the election and we start seeing some real campiagning and the media start to real scrutinise the policies I think then they will start to reconsider who they will vote for. Gillard may not be popular but if you where a low to middle income earner the idea of losing $3-$5k under Abbott will go down like a lead balloon.
Labor will be hopping Abbott is leading at the election, they probably have plenty of ammo aleady but going to soon may have the Lib's bring Turnbull back then they would have little hope of winning the election.
