Not Surprised, thou interesting greens are polling at all time high

In early September L-NP support is virtually unchanged at 45% (down 0.5%) cf. ALP 55% (up 0.5%) following last week’s poor Australian GDP result (only 0.2% growth in the June Quarter 2015), and falls in the Aussie Dollar (below 70 US cents) and Australian share-markets (down 4%). If a Federal Election were held now the ALP would win easily.
Primary support for the L-NP has decreased to 36.5% (down 2%) while ALP support is down 0.5% to 35.5%. Support for the Greens has risen to a new record high of 16.5% (up 2.5%), Palmer United Party is 1% (down 0.5%), Katter’s Australian Party 1.5% (unchanged), while Independents/ Others are at 9% (up 0.5%).
This week’s Morgan Poll on Federal voting intention was conducted over the last two weekends, August 29/30 & September 5/6, 2015, with an Australia-wide cross-section of 2,653 Australian electors.

The Morgan Poll surveys a larger sample (including people who only use a mobile phone) than any other public opinion poll. The Morgan Poll asks Minor Party supporters which way they will vote their preferences. *News Corp’s poll does not measure or reference the PUP vote!
The Morgan Poll allocated preferences based on how people say they will vote – allocating preferences by how electors voted at the last Federal Election, as used by News Corp’s poll* shows the ALP (55.5%) cf. L-NP (44.5%) – for trends see the Morgan Poll historic data table.
