Coalition soars ahead in Nielsen poll, 52-48.
Feb 16^th, 2014 at 9:30pm

The Coalition has soared ahead in the latest Nielsen poll. The Coalition is up three points to 44%, Labor down four to 33%, and the Greens are up one to 12%. Bill Shorten's good approval figure has vanished, down 11 points on approval to 40%, and up 10 points on dissaproval to 40%, making his satisfaction to dissatisfaction rating neutral, with 20% uncommitted. Tony Abbott's approval rating is down two to to 45%, and his disapproval up one to 47%, leaving his satisfaction to dissatisfaction rating negative, albeit statistically insignificant, so more or less neutral, with 12% uncommitted.

I can't find any PPM ratings, but the important thing is that the coalition leads 52-48 on the 2pp. Australians are waking up after a brief lull, and realising that the Coalition is making the right decision, and is the best equipped party to run our country.

Aussies are also getting over their hangover (from celebrating Abbott becoming PM and ending 6 years of Labor pain) and remembering why they gave Labor a good ass-whuppin' last September...

Excuse me, when has Matty ever sprouted crap on this site?

He was the first to infiltrate the Greens and uncover the fact that they’re watermelons. He deserves a lot of credit for this, you know.

If it wasn’t for Matty, the Ryde Greens might even be in power. Think about that.

Reply #11 - Feb 17^th, 2014 at 5:46am Only 23% of voters oppose the corruption Royal Commission into the unions!!! Most likely, that 23% minority consists solely of hardcore militant unionists with much to lose in the Royal Commission and the most rusted-on Labor supporters.

this is what I was saying a week or two back... Shorten has done a disappearing act...

but lately he's been back mouthing off sticking up for militant Unions and not wanting investigations into corruption....

what's he hiding?

it was said around 12 months back, if fact, it was an argument to go back with Rudd as leader, when Labor was crapping itself about the Royal commission into corruption with Labor and the Unions... that if the Liberals win and get the investigation off the ground then a lot of them would be stuffed....

its still early days though and Tony is still kicking goals one after the other....

the next few budgets are going to have to be tough after the Labor/Green coalition left us in massive debt... people wont like paying back the good times and handouts...

but hey, they voted for the worst government in Australia's history... they've no one to blame but themselves...
