Newspoll 20 delivers worse news for Do-nothing Malcolm as energy burns a hole in his government:
Malcolm Turnbull has lost ground to Bill Shorten as preferred prime minister as the Coalition slips to another low in popular support, with the government trailing Labor by 46 to 54 per cent in two-party terms.
Voters have cut their support for the Coalition from 37 to 36 per cent in primary-vote terms over the past three weeks in a verdict that cements Labor’s election-winning lead amid a furious political fight over the rising cost of electricity and gas.
Labor has held its core support at 38 per cent in one of its strongest results so far this year, while there was no change for the Greens on 9 per cent or One Nation on 8 per cent.
Good to see that Tony Abbott’s and Graham Richardson’s energy wreckage appears to be dragging the government down. I’m of the view that the High Court is going to deliver the Government’s swath of dual-citizenship dodgers bad news, too, so we may be headed into shambles territory for the polls in short order. It is notable that these results are coming despite the Botox Boom pick up in the economy.
The good ship Coalition is going under.
