  "account": "A Resolve poll conducted by Nine newspapers suggests that more voters support Labor's federal budget changes than oppose them. The poll, which sampled 2,256 respondents from August 9-15, gave Labor 28% of the primary vote, One Nation 26%, the Coalition 23%, the Greens 12%, independents 7% and others 4%. The poll is consistent with Labor's steady performance in previous Resolve polls. Additionally, support for the May budget changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing, as well as bringing house prices down, surpassed 35% in the poll. Cost of living is the most important issue for voters at 36%, marking its lowest level since February 2023. The poll also suggests that voters think the federal government is handling immigration in an unplanned and unmanaged way, with 57% believing it is too high and 4% considering it too low.",
  "summary": "While federal Labor remains ahead in most polls three months after the budget, Victorian Labor is trailing the Liberals ahead of the November state election.",
