The old assumption about a Labor victory at the next election is well and truly out of date. The government is clearly losing the fight to hold wavering voters.
Assumptions about the next election need to be thrown aside now that Labor is so clearly losing the fight to hold wavering voters.
But this finding offers no real comfort to the prime minister and his colleagues. Less than one year ago, 60 per cent thought Labor would win the next election. Only 17 per cent thought the Coalition could succeed. Australians backed Albanese strongly after he won power almost two years ago, but they are not so sure these days about his leadership and solutions – especially on the economy. The Resolve Political Monitor finds this by asking voters to express their views in their own words.
Labor is losing ground with voters on key policies, even as it tries so hard to go on the offensive with the “made in Australia” agenda. On jobs and wages, however, 37 per cent favour Labor and 31 per cent prefer the Coalition. This is a key area for the government when the argument over real wage growth is vital to the contest on the cost of living. When the question is about who is best to manage industrial relations, however, Labor and the Coalition receive 31 per cent support each.
