The monthly Freshwater Strategy poll for the Financial Review (presently available online in the paper’s subscriber-only digital edition) records no change of consequence on voting intention, with the Coalition maintaining a 51-49 lead on two-party preferred and the major party primary votes unchanged at Labor 30% and the Coalition 40%, although the Greens have gained a point to 14%. Anthony Albanese is down two on approval to 33% and up one on disapproval to 50%, while Peter Dutton is steady on 37% and up two to 41%. Albanese’s lead as preferred prime minister is all but erased, narrowing from 45-39 to 43-42.
The poll also finds 55% believe the world will be less safe with Donald Trump as President, compared with 28% for safer, and that 47% consider Peter Dutton “better placed to engage and negotiate” with Trump, compared with 36% for Anthony Albanese. The poll was conducted Friday to Sunday from a sample of 1046.
Dutton? Who will just bow down to Trump and kiss Trumps feet and allow him to put tariffs in this country? Yeah right, rogue poll. Don’t believe it.
Dutton will not stand up to Trump, he will embrace him even more than Mr. Morrison did!
