Morgan: 51 to 49 in Labor’s favour
The latest Morgan poll of 2049 electors over the weekends of 2-3 and 9-10 July, predicted a two-party preferred vote of 51 to 49 per cent in Labor’s favour. The pollster made the following comments,
“Despite continued criticism of the Government’s proposed Industrial Relations reforms, primary support for the L-NP rose slightly (0.5%). Special Morgan Poll Qualitative Research shows economic stability is a driving force behind this. It is interesting to note that none of the L-NP supporters mentioned concerns with the proposed Industrial Relations reforms.
“Primary support for the ALP also rose (1%). This increase in support is a reflection of public reaction towards the L-NP’s proposed Industrial Relations changes.
“This latest Morgan Poll shows primary support polarising towards the major parties at the expense of the Greens and other minor parties.”
If you look at my usual poll graphs, you can see that all polls are trending towards Labor at the moment. (Note: You may need to hit the refresh button on your browser when you get to the graphs page).
Labor is also firming just a tad with the punters. At Centrebet, Labor has firmed slightly since the beginning of the month (from $2.55 to $2.50 for a win).
