TONY Abbott has lifted his ­approval rating to a three-month high…

The latest Newspoll…marks 18 months since the Coalition won power and shows if an election was called today Labor would start as clear favourite to return to ­office with a commanding two-party lead of 55 per cent to 45 per cent.

Labor has been in front of the Coalition in two-party terms for 19 consecutive Newspoll surveys and Bill Shorten…also ­enjoyed a rise in his personal ­ratings…

More giveaways needed.
