Today’s Courier Mail reports on a Galaxy poll of 800 Queenslanders on the evenings of 24-25 September. It found a small boost in the attitudinals for Malcolm Turnbull, compared with a late June poll and the performance of Brendan Nelson.

On the key question of who was the better economic manager, Labor holds a lead of 50 per cent compared with 40 per cent for the Coalition. In June, when Dr Nelson was Opposition Leader, the Labor lead was 53 per cent to 37 per cent.

On the preferred prime minister stakes, Mr Rudd is well ahead of Mr Turnbull with 57 per cent support compared to 34 per cent.

But Mr Turnbull is performing much better than Dr Nelson, who often slipped into single digits when compared with Mr Rudd in national polls.
