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.

    Eh, it’s 10 points down on PM approval, with a net approval decline of 40 (!) in 3 months. I think the descriptions are pretty fair when applied to the combination of polls, especially since “worst” is objective in this context.

      Hmm maybe I am responding more to the emphasis on the negativity in the summary/title than the actual numbers.
