Labor polling hit by GloboAlbo

I am loving this garbage from GloboAlbo:

Anthony Albanese wants Labor to “occupy the cultural and political landscape for at least a decade” to avoid the Coalition reversing ALP policies and dismantling the government’s long-term reformist agenda.

And there is this from ALP hack Craig Emerson:

Albanese wants to make Labor the natural party of government by running a traditional cabinet government that keeps its promises, respects and rewards aspiration and welcomes the business community to the table.

Good for him. It sounds pretty arrogant to me.

What GloboAlbo does not seem to realise is that the community has spent a decade being shafted by these policies and they do not want to go through it again.

Are tax cuts for the rich, groveling to China, mass immigration, and permanent housing crises the natural way of governing? Especially for the “left”?

So far, Albo has enjoyed a lengthy honeymoon in the polls.

But, according to a new Freshwater poll, Albo’s big polling lead has crashed post-Budget. The poll of 1005 voters was conducted last week.

Labor’s TPP support fell to 52 per cent to 48 per cent, the same as at the election.

The ALP has given up leadership across the spectrum. In particular, it has lost ground on the immigration economy, housing crisis, and national security:

This is only one poll and it is so far an outlier. But GloboAlbo’s position is much weaker than it appears.

His lunatic globalism and the economic mismanagement that comes with it make the ALP vulnerable to a cunning opposition operator.

Doomed Dutton is not that. But if he sticks to the LNP knitting of economy, tighter borders, and national security then history will deliver the rest.
