Labor is in a favorable position to establish a government in this Saturday’s federal election, as a significant poll shows it ahead with a strong two-party preference over the Coalition.
First preferences are more mixed, with Labor steady at 31 per cent and the Coalition at 35 per cent, up slightly from the previous poll.
“At Christmas, the pair were tied.”
There were a few slivers of good news for the Coalition, including the high proportion of undecided voters.
“Twenty percent of those surveyed expressed uncertainty in their decision, suggesting that there’s room for our leaders to sway voters during the campaign,” noted Croucher.
Despite declining numbers in the polls throughout the campaign, Dutton has repeatedly dismissed worries, citing internal Liberal party polls which, according to him, suggest the Coalition still has a chance to form a government this weekend.
Albanese has appeared the more confident of the two leaders at the start of the final week of campaigning, making several unscripted public appearances over the last two days, while Dutton today abandoned one planned press conference due to anti-nuclear protesters and cut another one off after little more than 15 minutes.
