Labor and Albanese slump to new lows in Newspoll, but Labor improves in a DemosAU poll

Labor’s primary vote in Newspoll was down two points to 27%, their worst Newspoll since 2012 and just one point above their record low.

Anthony Albanese’s net approval slumped six points to a new low of -27.

However, in the DemosAU poll, Labor’s primary vote was up two points to 28%, their highest in that poll since February.

The combined vote for One Nation and the Coalition was steady at 49% in Newspoll, but down three points to 46% in DemosAU, the lowest combined right vote in DemosAU since January.

In the last two weeks , the Morgan and DemosAU polls have been relatively good for Labor, but Newspoll and Resolve have been relatively bad.

In the August DemosAU poll, Bob Hawke was the most popular former PM, followed by John Howard and Robert Menzies, while Scott Morrison was the least popular.

In state polls, a Victorian Redbridge poll ahead of the November 28 election gave the Coalition a 56–44 lead over Labor.

A New South Wales Resolve poll would still give Labor a clear two-party lead due to NSW’s optional preferential voting and the split right vote.

Federal Newspoll A national Newspoll , conducted September 14–17 from a sample of 1,244, gave One Nation 30% of the primary vote (steady since the previous Newspoll , three weeks ago), Labor 27% (down two), the Coalition 19% (steady), the Greens 13% (steady) and all Others 11% (up two).

This is Labor’s second lowest ever primary vote in Newspoll, which they had last equalled in April 2012 when Julia Gillard was prime minister.

Labor’s lowest ever primary vote was 26% in September 2011.

Albanese’s net approval slumped six points to -27, his worst in Newspoll since he became PM, with 62% dissatisfied and 35% satisfied.

Angus Taylor’s was up two points to -15 (50% dissatisfied, 35% satisfied).

Pauline Hanson’s was down six points to -7 (51% dissatisfied, 44% satisfied).
