The slumping polls show how damaging the heavy defeat of the Voice referendum and continuing cost of living pressures have been to the prime minister and Labor.

A national Newspoll, conducted October 30 to November 3 from a sample of 1,220 people, gave Labor a 52–48% lead over the Coalition, a two-point gain for the Coalition since the final Newspoll before the October 14 Voice referendum. This is Labor’s narrowest lead in Newspoll since the 2022 federal election.

The historical Newspoll results may be helpful to better contextualize the most recent results.

    the hit was inevitable after the voice, but that will blow over. even as someone who is generally pretty happy with the government, they are dropping the ball on cost of living and arent even talking about it, i’d expect no less from the coalition but labor are better than this
