Prime Minister Continues to Slump in Polls, Deputy Sees Gains

^{BY JAMES JAMESONSON}

​

The Prime Minister has continued to see his support fall dramatically, mustering only 32% on the two-candidate referred poll, and an abysmal 14.9% out of all parliamentarians, even lower than that of the Deputy Prime Minister who is currently polling at 15.4%.

Out of political parties, both the Liberals and the Opposition United Democrats saw their polling fall, down to 24.10% and 23% respectively. The Liberals' junior coalition partner, the National Party, has stayed relatively stable (with an increase of 0.03%) on 20.60%. The Centre Alliance and SDP also recorded small increases (1.6% and 0.6% respectively).

The strong performance by the Nationals and the Deputy Prime Minister, as well as from the Centre Alliance, saw the Liberals maintain their TPP lead, with a slight increase to 58.2% to 47.8% for the Opposition.

The Leader of the Opposition continues to lead the preferred PM polls, at 20.10% of all parliamentarians, and 41.3% against the PM.

Speaking to the National Review, Opposition Leader u/dyljam said that people were "finally waking up to the lies of the Liberal Party".

"Australians can see that despite all their promises, the Liberals lead a do-nothing government. The Prime Minister is completely absent and he and the Deputy Prime Minister are having spats between each other in the public sphere." he said, referring to the Deputy Prime Minister's wishes for a Minister for Drought, against the wishes of the Prime Minister.
