Newspoll
47 (+1)
30 (-1)
9 (-1)

58 (+2)
42 (-2)

Bligh approval - 41 (+2)
Bligh disapproval - 50 (nc)

Newman approval - 45 (nc)
Newman disapproval - 37 (+4)

Preferred Premier
Newman - 44 (+1)
Bligh - 40 (+1)

I still expect the gap to close, those approval numbers simply don't add up to a result anything like 58-42. I guess it shows how toxic the ALP brand is right now.

I've seen photos of Labor's election signs up there... candidates and MPs are completely leaving the party name and logo off their signs - just putting their own name and the electorate name - no mention whatsoever of "Labor"

Taking a leaf out of the LibDem playbook there.

Didn't the LibDems end up doing significantly worse than the polls suggested, though?

Yeah, but i'm meaning in elections we've had since the coalition formed.

The opposition calls a vote of no confidence when they gain the support of the independents who hold the balance of power in parliament. Or Gillard goes to see in the Governor General, around the time her mandate's about to come to a natural end in 2013, and asks for a General Election.

Surprise Just checked the results. I knew it'd be bad, but this is something else. Do we have a rough idea of the 2PP yet?

No, ABC's called it for her and it's currently at 55-45.

Is Anna Bligh staying on as Leader of the Opposition due to a lack or alternatives in the caucus?
