Newspoll has combined right vote down, but Albanese’s ratings slump
Despite a slump in Albanese’s approval rate, he maintains a comfortable lead as preferred prime minister.
The latest federal Newspoll reveals a combined right vote down two points to 47%, aligning with most recent polls except for the Redbridge poll. Despite this, the left's position has improved, with Anthony Albanese's net approval rating slumping four points to -22, nearing his record low of -24 in early June. In Victorian polling ahead of the state election, the Redbridge poll's reported 53–47 Coalition lead was actually 57–43.
The poll also shows Labor at 29% (down one since the previous Newspoll), the Coalition at 18% (down one), and the Greens at 14% (up two). This indicates movement towards the Labor party. Albanese's net approval continues to be at or below -15 since late February, while the Coalition's vote drop contradicts a trend showing them favorably in other polls.
