The betting market again lengthened for the Coalition in aggregate (albeit only slightly). The average of the four bookmakers suggested a 56.8 per cent probability of a Coalition government (down from 57.5 per cent last week, and 58.2 per cent the week before), and a 43.2 per cent chance of a Labor government following the 2007 Federal election.
