Tick tock:
The latest Newspoll, taken exclusively for The Australian, shows Labor holds a convincing lead over the Coalition of 53 per cent to 47 per cent but Mr Shorten has suffered his biggest slide in the key leadership measure since February.
The survey reveals an improvement in the government’s fortunes from its slump two weeks ago, when Labor led by 54 to 46 per cent.
At 37 per cent, the government’s core support among voters has returned to the level last seen in March.
Labor’s primary vote has held steady at 38 per cent while the Greens are also unchanged on 9 per cent, while there was a small fall in support for others.
All margin or error stuff. 19 down, 11 to go.
