"Nielsen: 54-46 to Labor; Westpoll marginal seat polls William Bowe | Jul 24, 2010 1:04AM |
The good polling news for Labor continues to pile up: the first Nielsen poll of the campaign, unusually published on a Saturday, has Labor with a two-party lead of 54-46, compared with 52-48 a fortnight ago. Labor is up three points on the primary vote to 42 per cent, with the Coalition down one to 41 per cent and the Greens down one to 12 per cent. Among women Labor’s two-party lead is 58-42, compared with 50-50 among men. Julia Gillard’s approval rating is 59 per cent among women, 53 per cent among men and 56 per cent overall, while her disapproval is up a point to 33 per cent. Tony Abbott has an approval rating of 43 per cent and disapproval of 51 per cent, both of which are unchanged. Gillard has a 28-point lead as preferred prime minister among women and a 14-point lead among men, translating to a 21-point lead overall." / / / / since then - everything has gone down hill for labor, the combined green/labor primary vote was 50% - now it is 40%. gillard had a strong approval rating, was preferred pm etc etc - even the women voters have deserted gillard.
the only reason that gillard has not been dumped, is because the whole lot are useless. a return to rudd is not an option
