One Nation on the rise as Coalition slips
"Ahead of parliament returning from its long summer break, backing for the coalition has dropped to its lowest level since Mr Turnbull toppled Tony Abbott as prime minister.
After preferences Labor leads over the coalition 54-46 per cent."

Re: Turnbull vs Shorten
My point was about Turnbull - your big business man if we are using meaningless labels. Is it possible for you to say that he's not performed well and he appears to be losing a lot of support to the further right party? The rise of Hanson in redneck wonderland is mainly due to coalition voters defecting to One Nation.

Re: Turnbull vs Shorten
I'll ignore you in future as all you do is call me sport and redirect me. I thought this was about Turnbull vs Shorten (and you introduced Trump then redirect me elsewhere). Why is Turnbull's support falling so much (if Shorten is so hopeless according to most posters in this thread)? Simple question.
Are we going in circles again sport?

Incidentally did they teach you at your citizenship adoption ceremony to call people sport and adopt the Australian cricket team?

Re: Turnbull vs Shorten
Brexit and Trump and last election were very close contests and could have gone either way so you are saying all polls can't be trusted now because they were a few % out? (unless they show what you like to see). I saw a few polls which showed Turnbull's preferred PM rating 39% ahead of Shorten just after the election and now it is circa 9%. Take out any sampling error and that's dissatisfaction with Turnbull whichever way you look at it.

Re: Turnbull vs Shorten
Then I picked you up wrongly in the citizenship ceremony thread - you spoke of you and wife travelling on British passports and your child Australian and then mention the citizenship ceremony you attended. You gave the impression you acquired citizenship at the ceremony for which I apologise but do explain better next time. The first part of my post was ignored?

Re: Turnbull vs Shorten
I thought you were making a joke with that piece, like you were with the piece on citizenship.
Ok let me help you. Polls change and fluctuate over time. They don't matter until election day. Lots of water can pass under the bridge between a poll and election day.
This may help. The Brexit polls and how they fluctuated over time.

Re: Turnbull vs Shorten
Turnbull will do but I much preferred Abbott. We need a real conservative PM and that he ain't (but neither was Abbott to be fair). He's centre-left in reality
But compared to Shorten he's the bomb. Shorten is an Australia-hating, socialist union hack who has achieved or done nothing - in business or politics. He married into the right family (nothing wrong with that just calling it how it is) and has zero vision for this nation
Avoid at all costs

Re: Turnbull vs Shorten
Anyhow, doesn't matter. Polls are useless indicators.

You've told me to dismiss polls so why do you quote them? e.g. graph

Re: Turnbull vs Shorten
Post 41. You'll find its more current than the dribble you dragged out from Feb 5.
You probably want to agree with me on polls. From where we stand here in Australia, Shorten in the polls is going to hit the wall and you will see the rise of the right in the polls.
Of course all that means nothing til election day. The left will be sprouting that one when the Hanson poll numbers start floating through.
