Poor polls continue for both federal and Victorian Labor
Labor in Victoria continues to slide with less than three weeks until the state election.
Three recent federal polls have shown the federal opposition parties, One Nation and the Coalition, dropping in support. This decline in support could be attributed to poor perceptions of the economy under Labor. With just three weeks until the Victorian election, polls indicate the Coalition is closing in on a substantial lead over Labor.
The preliminary results from New Zealand's recent election show right-wing parties now hold a majority of seats, with over 67 out of 131 seats. This development follows a recent US midterm election, where the Democrats have a strong lead over Republicans. Labor's ratings remain consistently poor, with ratings dropping for key leaders Anthony Albanese, Angus Taylor, and Pauline Hanson.
In a national poll, Labor trailed behind the Coalition and the Greens, with only a slight lead over One Nation. The most significant concern for Australians is rising living costs, with 42% blaming the federal government, 26% citing global factors, and 7% pointing to the Reserve Bank. The Coalition has seen an increase in support since October, while Labor's ratings have remained low.
