A Roy Morgan Poll conducted during the second week of the federal election campaign shows the L-NP gaining 0.5% points on a two-party preferred basis, but still well behind the ALP (54.5% cf. L-NP 45.5%). This is the closest since early November 2021, when the two-party preferred lead was 7% points: ALP 53.5% cf. L-NP 46.5%. If a Federal Election had been held last weekend the ALP would have won a clear majority. Primary support for the L-NP was unchanged at 35.5% and remains just ahead of the ALP on 35%, also unchanged from a week ago. Analysis by State shows that the ALP now leads in four States on a two-party preferred basis, but the L-NP has regained the lead in Queensland and has increased its lead in Western Australia. Meanwhile, the Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating increased 6pts to 92 in the second week of the election campaign; now 38.5% (up 3.5% points) of Australians say the country is ‘heading in the right direction’, while 46.5% (down 2.5% points) say the country is ‘heading in the wrong direction’. This Roy Morgan Poll on Federal voting intention and Government Confidence was conducted via telephone and online interviewing of 1,393 Australian electors aged 18+ from Monday April 18-24.
