Again we see the possibility that Galaxy has been push polling. On the News Ltd website there are two different interactive versions of the Galaxy poll - one with a total of 5 questions, and one with a total of 9. The questions are numbered, thus suggesting they were asked in that order.

Let's have a close look at these questions...

First up, the "short" version, which can be found online here.

Nothing wrong here, the voting intention is asked first, as it should be. However, let us now consider the long version of this poll, which can be found online here.

There is something very wrong if this shows the true order of polling questions. As I previously stated, questions on voting intention should be asked first - however here we see a question on whether or not you "know enough about Kevin Rudd to have formed your opinion already or are you reserving judgement?". This is a question which could create doubt in the minds of those answering the survey.

It is followed by a question on whether you are better or worse off compared to three years ago - again this could be seen to put greater emphasis on the state of the economy, something which could potentially boost the Coalition vote.

Questions 3 & 4 are on whether the two main parties deserve to win the election. Impact on voting intention is probably negligble - but these questions should still not be asked before voting intention.

Only at question 5 do we see one on voting intention.

What is going on here? David Briggs, the head of Galaxy Polling, is an unashamed Coalition supporter. He wouldn't modify the questioning to benefit his side of politics - would he? Couldn't be trying to shift the media narrative? No... never!
