Newspoll Results

Good morning Friends,

Good news again in the latest Newspoll.

We're down a couple of points in the two-party preferred of two weeks ago but significantly are still tracking on the same results as the beginning of March. Only 18% of people are dissatisfied with my performance as Leader of the Opposition and 46% of those polled think I would make the better Prime Minister.

The NewsCorp Tories have asserted these results are giving Howard a scent of a chance. He's always had a sniff - PM for 11 years and we need to win 16 seats. We ignore the political realities at our peril.

Still, the figures continue to be encouraging and there is a very long way to go until we can claim victory on election night.
