DaveMc, I didn't belittle Abbotts charity work but if you think doing charity work is an indicator of being able to handle the job of PM there are plenty of catidates at the Salvo's, Vini's ect. My Mother Attends Church regularly & does charity work as well, she is also very good at budgeting having paid off the mortage years ago. Alas she can't read or write so in that case Abbott is a bit more qualified.
Polls I look at are Newspoll, Neilen, & Morgan which over recent times have show a trend of labor 2PP improving, Gillard now ahead of Abbott as prefed PM & Turnbull 63% as prefered PM.
Pretty hard to ignor those figures but some of the die hard Abbott supporters continue to do so.
