Newspoll: Bill Shorten approval rating at record low 28 per cent
Bill Shorten’s approval rating has tumbled to a record low of 28 per cent, with nearly twice as many voters dissatisfied with the Opposition Leader’s performance, as Labor’s primary vote dropped to an eight-month low.
But rising support for the Greens continues to keep Labor ahead of the Coalition in two-party-preferred terms, according to the latest Newspoll, conducted exclusively for The Australian at the weekend.
Tony Abbott also suffered a hit to his satisfaction rating over the past fortnight but he remains more popular than Mr Shorten and is still ranked as voters’ preferred prime minister.
After a fortnight in which the government was on the backfoot over housing affordability, stepped up the debate over citizenship laws and faced allegations it paid people-smugglers to turn around an asylum-seeker boat, Labor’s primary vote fell three points to 34 per cent, the lowest since October as the Coalition dropped one point to 40 per cent. The Greens nudged up one point to an eight-month high of 14 per cent while others, including independents and minor parties, gained three points to 12 per cent.
The more people get to know the real Bill Shorten the better. Here's Muso of WA
