The latest Morgan Poll does not give much comfort to the government, predicting that an election over the last two weeks would have seen Labor win 52 per cent of the national two-party preferred vote.

The primary vote results were:

• Coalition — 41.5 per cent — unchanged
• Labor — 42 per cent — up 3.5 per cent
• Australian Democrats — 2 per cent — down half a per cent
• The Greens — 7.5 per cent — down half a per cent
• Family First — 2 per cent — up half a per cent
• One Nation — 1 per cent — down 1 per cent
• Other minor parties — 4 per cent — down 2 per cent

Perhaps the only good news for the government was that 61.5 per cent of the population expects it to win the next election (unchanged).
