The Coalition now has a clear lead on a two-party preferred basis for the first time since the Federal Election more than two years ago: L-NP 51.5% (up 2%) ahead of the ALP 48.5% (down 2%) in the week student protests on University campuses in support of Palestine were broken up. In addition, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese failed to come out in support of Israel after the International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan issued applications for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. While support for the ALP dropped for a second straight week, and was down 2% to only 28.5% this week, the drop in ALP primary support drifted to minor parties and independents, not to the Coalition. Primary support for the Coalition was unchanged on 37% for a third straight week. If a Federal Election were held now the Coalition would form a minority government, but with the support of minor parties and independents, the latest Roy Morgan survey shows. Support for the Greens was up 0.5% to 15% and support for One Nation increased 0.5% to 6%. In addition, support for Other Parties was up 0.5% to 4.5% and support for Independents was up 0.5% to 9%. The latest Roy Morgan survey is based on interviewing a representative cross-section of 1,488 Australian electors from May 20-26, 2024. When comparing different polls it is always important to make sure to take note of the dates when the polls are conducted to undertake a proper comparison between two polls.
