From Newspoll:
Labor has extended its ascendancy over the Coalition to lead by 53 per cent to 47 per cent, boosted by a rise in the opposition’s primary vote to the highest level since Malcolm Turnbull became Prime Minister 14 months ago.
The latest Newspoll, taken exclusively for The Australian, reveals the ALP’s core support has climbed to 38 per cent, up one point in the past fortnight and 3.3 points higher than at the July 2 election.
The Coalition’s primary vote remains below 40 per cent for the fourth consecutive Newspoll survey, and at 39 per cent is 3.1 points lower than at the election.
The Greens are unchanged at 10 per cent, while support for other parties and independents slipped from 14 to 13 per cent.
