Race tightens: Poll shows Coalition lifting support and Labor dropping | CroweDM
A dramatic shift in voter sentiment has tightened the race for power at the federal election by cutting primary vote support for Labor and giving the Coalition a boost that keeps it within sight of victory at the ballot box this Saturday.
“As we near election day, voters are naturally locking in their choice, and in many cases have already voted,” said Resolve director Jim Reed. Support for One Nation rose from 5 to 6 per cent and the primary vote for the United Australia Party fell from 5 to 4 per cent, with both these changes falling within the margin of error.
The Resolve Political Monitor surveyed 2049 voters from Thursday to Tuesday, a period that included the admission from Morrison that he could be “a bit of a bulldozer” and his promise that he would change after the election as Australia emerged from the pandemic.
