Albo continues Newspoll slide

ALBANESE AND DUTTON RATINGS FALL

Another week, another less than ideal Newspoll for Anthony Albanese. The Australian reports the prime minister’s approval rating has dropped to its joint-lowest level since the May 2022 election. Labor and the Coalition remain locked in a 50-50 two-party-preferred contest, with a hung Parliament still the predicted outcome if the federal election were held today. The Coalition’s primary vote dropped one point to 38% and Labor’s stayed at 32%, the paper said.

The AAP writes the new survey showed disapproval for Albanese up four points to 54%, while his approval rating fell two points to 41%, resulting in a minus 13 rating — which just happens to be the same net satisfaction rating of Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, whose overall rating also dropped.
