Australian Federal Polls

[Smid]

Sorry I missed posting this the other day, I've been a bit busy.

The latest Newspoll is out, taken 7-9 December.

As before, first bracketted number is the election result, second bracketted number is the change since the last poll.

Primary Vote
Labor          (38%) 32% (-4%]
Coalition     (43.6%) 46% (+3%)
Greens        (11.8%) 11% (nc%)
Others        (6.6%) 11% (+1%)

Two Party Preferred
Labor (50.1%) 46% (-3%) vs Coalition (49.9%) 54% (+3%)

1,173 respondents, MoE +/- 3%
6% uncommitted and 4% refused were excluded from the sample.

I saw this poll a few days ago - is there a particular reason for the shift, or is the tide simply starting to turn back away from Gillard?

It was a blip in an otherwise downhill trend. Sorta like the first US debate.
