Morgan Poll Update – Page: Online : 25-Aug-15

A Morgan Poll on Federal voting intention, which was carried out on 15-16 and 22-23 August 2015, has found that support for Australia’s ruling Liberal-National Coalition jumped to 45.5 per cent (up 2.5 per cent), compared with the Australian Labor Party (ALP) 54.5 per cent (down 2.5 per cent) following extensive union attacks on the credibility of Trade Union Royal Commission head Justice Dyson Heydon and following key Government announcements on policies involving climate change and same-sex marriage. However, if a Federal Election were held now the ALP would still win easily. Primary support for the Coalition has increased to 38.5 per cent (up two per cent) while ALP support is down one per cent to 36 per cent. Support for the Greens has fallen to 14 per cent (down 1.5 per cent), Palmer United Party 1.5 per cent (up 0.5 per cent), Katter’s Australian Party 1.5 per cent (unchanged), while Independents/ Others were 8.5 per cent (unchanged). Gary Morgan, executive chairman of Roy Morgan Research, says the Morgan Poll shows the attacks by the unions on the credibility of Heydon have had little impact on Australian electors.
