Today’s Roy Morgan Poll on Federal voting intention shows the ALP support down 2% points to 56.5% compared to the L-NP on 43.5% (up 2% points) on a two-party preferred basis. The drop in support for the Albanese Government came after Treasurer Jim Chalmers raised the prospect of changing taxation rules for those with large superannuation account balances of over $3 million. The issue of changes to superannuation was easily the largest media story last week with almost 800 media mentions during the week – about twice as many as the second-placed Mardi Gras in Sydney. In addition, the Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating has plunged 6.5pts to 95.5 – the lowest rating since last year’s Federal Election. Now 39% of Australians (down 3.5% points) say the country is ‘going in the right direction’ compared to 43.5% (up 3% points) who say the country is ‘going in the wrong direction’. Although support for the Albanese Government took a hit the ALP is still well ahead on a two-party preferred basis and leads on primary vote: ALP 37% cf. L-NP 34.5%. Over a quarter of Australians, 28.5%, say they will vote for a minor party or independent including 13.5% for the Greens, 4% for One Nation, 8.5% for independents and 2.5% for other parties.
