Labor’s dominance continues in federal Newspoll, while Victorian Newspoll gives Coalition narrow lead
Labor’s two-party lead in the federal Newspoll increases to 58–42, as the Coalition and One Nation remain respectively at record lows and record highs. In Victoria, a Newspoll taken after Jess Wilson becomes Liberal leader gives the Coalition a 51–49 lead.
A national Newspoll, conducted November 17–20 from a sample of 1,245, gave Labor a 58–42 lead, a one-point gain for Labor since the previous Newspoll, three weeks ago.
Primary votes were 36% Labor (steady), 24% Coalition (steady), 15% One Nation (steady), 13% Greens (up two) and 12% for all Others (down two). The Coalition’s primary vote remained at a record low set in the previous Newspoll and One Nation remained at a record high.
A recent Redbridge poll gave One Nation 18%, so the 15% for One Nation in Newspoll isn’t a record high for them in all polls.
Anthony Albanese’s net approval improved five points to net zero, with 47% both satisfied and dissatisfied. Sussan Ley’s net approval improved four points to -29, rebounding slightly from a dive to -33. Albanese led Ley by an unchanged 54–27 as better PM.
