The Herald Sun has an opinion poll printed today showing preferred Liberal leader as

Turnbull 38%

Bishop 27%

Abbott 12%

Can it get any worse for this total dud of a PM?

It has Plibersek 23 and Shorten 21.

::)

That only goes to show the dismal quality of every so-called political leader in this country - as my post yesterday - not one of them would get a start in a Presidential race of vote of the people.

Keep the prick there till next election, i want to see his face when the libs are obliterated  :)

You seem to be referring to the morgan poll:

Reachtel also just published their poll from last week - spelling more bad news for the coalition, as the numbers seem to have settled on - lets call it "bad" - after recovering from "catastrophic" since a couple of months ago.

A couple of interesting results from this poll - labor seem to be on a winner on expanding tax on super, while support for removing negative gearing split almost evenly.

Well it's not as if he has been the darling of the ochlocracy like Rudd was?  His numbers have always been bad.

While I agree he should stay, I'm sick of seeing his face.

He was an accidental leader from the start - he only became leader of his party because Fran Bailey just happened to be in hospital on the day of the vote. But he proved to be a superb attack dog against the dysfunctional Rudd-Gillard circus. The libs then got so caught up in their oppose-by-slogans politics, that they forgot what was needed to actually govern. So of course Tony was found wanting from day one of his election win - the first PM in modern history to not have a 'honey moon' period, and its only gotten worse since.

But its been an important lesson for both sides - the lesson that you can't simply throw the kitchen sink to remove a government, but have nothing left to offer when you form government. Opposition's will now be more circumspect and understand the importance of not booby trapping your own future government.

Which is why we've already seen more policy announcements from Labor - actual policies, not just slogans - than we saw from the Coalition before the election campaign.

Absolute nonsense. This is just another rogue poll. Mr Abbott should be much higher than that. Let's wait for Newspoll to come out. Longy says it's more mathematical.

Anyway, why should we worry what the idiots think? If Australians don't know what's good for them, that's their problem. Mr Abbott will not be drawn into a running commentary on the polls, he's there to govern the nation.

Being a leader is not a popularity contest, you know. The only poll that counts is the one on erection day.

Thank heavens the grown-ups are back in charge.

Yes, but Mr Abbott has a plan to put sport and terrorism on the front pages again.

Hopefully, Longy's wish will come true and we'll get a real terrorist attack to shut the idiots up and let Mr Abbott take charge.

This can only be in all our interests, shurely.

Well yes, but that was before. We've moved on from all that. Mr Abbott has shown how our debt to GDP ratio is far better than Greece.

I wonder why the media always focuses on the economy, anyway. Can't people just be satisfied having an honest, decent man in the Lodge? It's not all about money, you know.

Ahhh i see , so it was just a gaffe when he said 50 to 60 % debt to GDP would be a pretty good result .

Lets hope it was just a gaffe .........

Absolutely not. Mr Abbott was just saying what our projected debt will be in 2050 under the Coalition’s leadership.

Stable, reliable, predictable, steady as she goes, that’s Mr.Abbott for you.

What a tall glass of water.

How idiotically simplistic. How could all debt be the same? Utterly ridiculous.

There are, in fact, two kinds of debt: Labor debt, and Liberal debt.

The two are chalk and cheese.
