The latest Roy Morgan opinion poll results are out. The government has improved slightly on the previous Morgan poll. According to the pollster,

In mid-April, primary support for the L-NP rose 1.5 to 42%, 4.4% below the result obtained by the L-NP at the October 2004 Federal election. Support for the ALP fell 3%, now at 40%. This is 2.4% above the ALP result at the Federal election.0

Had an election been held in mid-April, the ALP would have won with minor party preferences, the latest Morgan Poll finds.

Among the minor parties, support for the Greens was 8.5% (up 0.5%), Australian Democrats 2% (up 0.5%), Family First 1.5% (down 0.5%), One Nation 1% (down 0.5%) and Other Parties and Independent Candidates 5% (up 1.5%).

While the latest Morgan Poll shows a small swing towards the L-NP, it is still a long way from the Coalition’s January high of 47%.

This result comes after the Federal Government reached an agreement with several of the Labor State Governments, which will result in the abolition of a range of state stamp duties in return for the state’s share of GST funding.
