Newspoll: 51 to 49 in the Coalition’s favour
The latest Newspoll was reported in today’s Australian. But there are gaps in today’s reporting (like the Greens’ primary vote), so you will need to wait until this evening for me to update all of my poll graphs.
Newspoll remains the most favourable series for the Coalition.
The two-party preferred result for last weekend (51 to 49) represents a one point movement in Labor’s favour.
The Coalition’s primary vote is also down one point to 45 per cent. And Labor’s primary vote is up two points to 40 per cent.
In terms of satisfaction with their job performance as Prime Minister and Opposition Leader, Howard is on 55 per cent (up four) and Beazley is on 47 per cent (unchanged).
However, dissatisfaction with Beazley is at 36 per cent, up five points to the highest level since he took over from Mark Latham in January
The better Prime Minister result is unchanged from the previous three fortnights, with Howard on 51 per cent and Beazley on 31 per cent.
