Page 6 of 8 Firstly, welcome to the new site! I am still in the process of moving things over, so certain links may be broken and the user database has yet to be moved. Feel free to register again if you prefer (it'll make my job easier!). Also, feel free to leave feedback on how you find the new site! Anyway... on with the politics!
The Australian - An exercise in futility So again we see another article which talks up Howard's good fortunes - this time on the back of the pulp mill announcement in Tasmania. According to their convoluted logic, internal Liberal party polling - taken BEFORE the decision to permit the pulp mill to go ahead - found that their candidate for Lyons had a primary vote of 30% (down from 42% in 2004). As the Coalition candidate was opposed to the mill, they somehow conclude that this drop in support will be reversed with their pulp mill decision. The Liberal candidate, Mr Quin, has since stepped down and been replaced with a pro-mill candidate.
AC Nielsen Poll - 56-44 The AC Nielsen poll has been released, putting Labor in front 56-44. Full results can be found here . Primaries are 47 ALP, 40 LNP. We see Labor leading in rural areas - 46-41, quite significant considering the huge farmer bailout that the Coalition revealed last week. Rudd maintains his strong lead as preferred PM 52-39. There's a question on economic management, and that puts the Coalition at 40% - surprise surprise, the same as their primary. More later - my time has been eaten up by this site revamp. There will be new polling analysis and commentary very soon! Views: 1158
