Despite the worst week imaginable, Labor stays in touch with plenty of time to go.

If Rudd can keep his ego in touch, Gillard can still corner Abbott.

http://essentialvision.com.au/category/essentialreport

Labor holds ground 56 - 44.

With the likes of Chrissy Pyne and Maqqa trying to circumvent a real debate on policy, it looks like they've got zero faith in Abbott nailing this on his own performance.


Can't say I blame them. If I was them, I'd be worried about Gillard towelling him up as well.

56-44 isn't hanging in there.. It's still getting smashed at best.

Dam, I thought you found labor hanging in someones closet.

The score and Labor "hanging" are the only accurate things from your post. From this day forth you shall be known as "Comical Ali", after your Iraqi namesake from the Gulf War and his absurd/comical press conferences!!!

There has never been creatures as smug as born to rule conservatives who get a whiff of power.

I was expecting Labor to lose at least a couple of percentage points. They haven't. They are hanging in.

Yeah? Look at the Greens and what they did once they got some power with their crazy carbon tax and zero revenue mining tax. Look at the Independents. They said they chose Labor for stability and we've been given anything but stability!

Labor stay in touch.. lmao.. now that's funny. When i turned on the TV after work today, i was flicking channels and i seen two politicians one from Labor and another from Liberal, from the questions being ask by the host you could see the Labor bloke turning red in front of my eyes. meanwhile flashing news alert at the bottom of the screen, "Boat tips over on its way to Christmas Island killing a woman in her 30's and also killing a child.

Isnt it amazing how out of touch labor are, its just pathetic. But to have their lame arse supporters saying and feeling the same crap. Now thats just sad.

Labor think they can rip themselves apart in an embarrassing public display, dust themselves off and say 'nothing to see here, we are all clean, no shite on me. We are good to go and all love each other'

Give me a bldy puke bucket please.

Exactly, progs, was certainly expecting a drop in the polls.

If Labor can hold the gap, getting the Rudd distraction out of the way could be beneficial in the long run.

Let me finish the title for you... "Labor hanging in September"

Labor have their rusted on just like the greens and you would have to say liberals do too. The primary has been around the 30% mark for a while, so I dont see sitting at the bottom of the pond with no air as anything to feel good about.

Why would we want to do anything when we are ahead 56/44?

I was talking about smugness. The type of attitude we see every day from Liberal sheep like yourself and some of your mates.

Seems to be the liberal tactic is to repeat over and over "bad government" and the media plays along and the gullible public believes because its repeated over and over.

That's part of the problem. However, Rudd's Machavaelian nature has also contributed to a lot of this damage. The irony is if he had of played a statesman like role, he may well have been drafted back into the leadership if Gillard was unable to make headway in the polls.

Well, they can hardly repeat over and over that this is a good government. That would be an out-and-out lie!

Plenty more weeks to go. More to come from Dullard and the Goose. Should have taken the opportunity Crean gave you last week...but no, Laborites are so thick they have to be up to their noses in sh1t before they can smell it.

It's been quite a competent government. Growth is good, inflation and unemployment low, labour productivity rising, days lost to industrial disputes well below average, interest rates low, household savings rising. And with Gonski, NBN and the pricing of carbon a plan for the new dynamics of the future.

Newspoll clearly defines what Gillard can do with 'clear air', oh well, not long to Sept now  ;D ;D

How's that strategy brainfart working out for you Julia?

The self delusionalists are out to play. The new poll today puts Labor 16% behind, they have slipped another 4 percentage points.

If an election were held today they would lose 30 seats a total and absolute wipe out.

Julia Gillard's personal satisfaction rating is 26%.

Over 65% voters are dissatisfied with her performance.

What is happening now is akin to death by a thousand cuts.

It is an obscenity to have this Government,  'In Government'.

An election should be held immediately.

The only difference between you and a Pravda reader is that you don't know you are reading propaganda.

Are you denying that growth is good, household savings are rising, interest rates and mortgage payments have fallen, unemployment is low, labour productivity is rising and days lost to industrial disputes are well and truly below average.

I guess you're also denying the planet is warming and we're responsible.
