Newspoll: 52-48 to Labor (open thread)
An anti-climactic return for Newspoll, despite the seemingly game-changing event of the tax cuts backflip.
The Australian reports the first Newspoll of the year shows no change to the status quo after the tax cuts backflip or anything else to have happened over the holiday period, with Labor retaining its 52-48 two-party lead from the mid-December poll. Only minor changes are recorded on the primary vote, with Labor up a point to 34%, the Coalition steady on 36%, the Greens down one to 12% and One Nation steady on 7%.
Questions on the tax cuts found 62% believed the government had done the right thing, but oddly only 38% felt they would be better off. Preferred prime minister is likewise unchanged at 46-35 in favour of Anthony Albanese, while at this stage we only have net results on the two leaders’ ratings: Albanese down a point to minus nine, Peter Dutton down four to minus 13. A number of gaps here should be filled when The Australian publishes full results tables.
The poll was conducted Wednesday to Saturday from a sample of 1245.

no doubt that poll result would piss off many in the Murdoch empire and the veritable RWNJ SM platform for misinformation HC...
The key figure is this one though...
"Albanese down a point to minus nine, Peter Dutton down four to minus 13."
...The spuds time as leader is limited...given the Libs penchant for bloodletting, unless a better than expected result occurs in Dunkley he's a dead man walking...
