Don’t read too much into one poll, Sprinty. Polls are interesting but use tiny samples, from 400 (useless) to 1–2K, better but still a lot of variance.

There's little township in NSW that always picks the winning party correctly. I've forgotten the name of it. That's where they should do the polling'

have you a link to this Matty? can't find it anywhere .... not that I don't trust you but you have been known to sprout the odd bit of crap from time to time.

Sorry that I didn't post a link last night, John. I hate typing on iPhone and am not sure how to do so on there. Someone has put one up since, though.

Also, I resent that second remark.

Discussing polls at this stage of the term, when a Government has a locked sure majority is about as relevant and sensible as discussing the Polish elections.

When a Government is teetering and a minority like last time I get it, but now it's just idiotic.

true but the lefties have been delirious .. when abbotts polling went down...so its tit for tat... dont forget he has a hostile senate..

now the greens are giving gay marriage a rest its voting at 16... Roll Eyes

.. more pressure..lol..

I don't buy into the whole Left v Right crap cods.
I have my own opinions and no side to cheer for.

If "Left" people are focused on polls at this stage then they too are a bunch of idiots.

Polling at this stage means absolutely nothing when the Government is not in minority.

Most people on here do fall into the left camp or the right camp. Not all, but the vast majority do, although I tend to identify more as a conservative than a righty, though I am both.

I agree with what you're saying, Andrei, regarsing the relevance (or lack thereof) of polls at the moment, but we're just giving the lefties a taste of their own medicine, and it is worth discussing such a jump in approval of Shorten.

Voters are not scraps and shame on you for calling them so.

Woody, what's your theory on why the Greens lost so much of their vote last election? The public turned against you guys, at a time when Labor received its lowest vote in years.

The pendulum was to the conservatives and even under these conditions Greens achieved there second best vote and retained their first lower house seat.

Greens didn't lose votes, we only set them free so they can return when they realise their folly. And look how quick they have.

Greens voters are so intelligent.

I think you might be right. That's an electorate.

The last poll was a rogue poll and Morgan polls aren't worth the toilet paper they print them on.

Um, Labor have been ahead in EVERY poll for four months. If a poll was a " rogue poll" it would be this one, you are certainly not Einstein. According to the conga line Neilson is always wrong, but now Neilson have the conga line ahead all of a sudden it's gospel, too funny. Grin

When all the polls have the conga line ahead then you can crow, but seeing as though that is far from the case I will take great pleasure in rubbing your snotty little noses in your own excrement if the next News poll and others have Labor still in front. AND... The best thing will be seeing as though the conga line have all prematurely ewackulated over this poll none of you can use the excuse that the polls are irrelevant, as you all have done for the past four months, suck it up girls, I expect brown faces all round.
