From Essential via The Guardian:
The latest weekly snapshot of voter opinion has Labor maintaining its election winning lead over the Coalition on the two-party-preferred measure, 54% to 46%. That result is the same as last week.
The Coalition primary vote is on 37% to Labor’s 39%. The Greens are steady on 9%, as is Pauline Hanson’s One Nation on 8%.
The Nick Xenophon Team has dropped a point in each of the last three polls. Three weeks ago the NXT was on 4%, two weeks ago it was on 3% and the latest poll has them on 2%.
Voters were asked this week to rate the Turnbull government’s performance across a range of policy areas.
The Turnbull government scored a clear thumbs down on the implementation of the national broadband network, schools and universities funding, addressing climate change, funding health and hospitals, implementing a fair tax system and ensuring reliable and affordable energy.
It got a thumbs up on protecting Australians from terrorism.
Voters were asked to select a statement reflecting their view of the Turnbull government, with 41% agreeing with the statement “I don’t like their policies or the decisions they have been making”, 15% agreeing with the statement “I like their policies and am satisfied with the progress they are making”, 28% agreeing with “I like their policies but they are not making enough progress in implementing them”.
They were also asked questions about the cost of living and household income, with 53% of the sample saying they believed their income had fallen behind the rising cost of living, 25% saying it had stayed even, and 15% reporting more favourable circumstances.
It ain’t rocket surgery. Nothing will change until immigration is cut, One Nation is destroyed and the Coalition focuses on living standards.
