Via The Guardian:
More voters believe superannuation should be preserved to fund retirement than used to purchase property according to the latest Guardian Essential survey, which has federal Labor retaining an election-winning position.
The latest poll of 1,804 voters has 50% of the sample saying super should be preserved for retirement, while 38% think it should be available to buy a home.
Only 34% of Coalition voters approved of using super for home ownership, with 58% in favour of keeping the nest egg for retirement.
Support for the concept has dropped since May 2015, when 46% of those surveyed said super should be reserved for retirement and 41% said home ownership should be permitted.The new Guardian Essential survey has Labor well ahead of the Coalition on the two-party preferred measure, leading on 54% to the Coalition’s 46%. Last week’s two-party preferred vote had Labor leading the Coalition 53% to 47%.
Another public Coalition policy debate foul-up.
