This is a battle between those who look at the economy and those who think that the government is obsessed with spin and performs poorly. Those who think the state is heading in the right direction cite building of infrastructure, the economy, low jobless rate, the defence, mining and arts sectors, and the desalination plant. South Australia 2010 - the quantsby Graham Wednesday, 10 March 2010 06:18 We polled last week and got some interesting results. Mike Rann appears to be in some trouble. Electors have made a judgement on him, perceive him to be obsessed with spin and failing to deliver on his promises. The deciding factor may well be whether voters decide to trust the Liberals so as to change government, or vote for them so as to pull Rann back into line and perhaps engineer a hung parliament.
It could be the end of Media Mike's love affair with votersby Graham Sunday, 07 March 2010 11:52 Christmas hasn't been kind to South Australian Premier Mike Rann. According to the December Newspoll, he had a satisfaction rating of 50 per cent, with only 38 per cent dissatisfied. Global Warming analysis January 2010by Graham Saturday, 27 February 2010 11:52 Our polling shows that there has been a decline in those people who believe that Global Warming is manmade, and that it will be catastrophic, since we polled last time. There has also been a collapse in support for the CPRS. Faith in the official government view of global warming has been shaken with a statistically significant decline in concern about Global Warming. This is not matched by a corresponding growth in those who are unconcerned. Rather the decrease is being transferred to the numbers of those who are unsure.
January Omnibus - Most Important Issueby Graham Saturday, 27 February 2010 07:26 Climate Change continues to be the most important issue, followed by Economy. The newcomer this quarter is Population which has zoomed from 7% to 22%. Health and Water have also had a substantial increase. One surprise appearance this month is Rudd. It's taken a while, but just as John Howard had a strong "loathe" factor, Kevin Rudd appears to be developing one too. Most prime ministers do, and Rudd has escaped this factor for a surprisingly long time. Polls in the News80% of voters support Rudd health systemby Graham Sunday, 07 March 2010 21:27 According to an AC Nielsen poll taken between Thursday and Saturday last week 80% of Australians back the federal government's health plan. At the same time there has been a small deterioration in the standing of the Prime Minister and support for Tony Abbott is up. Consumer confidence up 34.3 pts in twelve monthsby Graham Sunday, 07 March 2010 21:19 Roy Morgan research reports that consumers are now 34.3 pts more confident than they were twelve months ago, taking the Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence index to 129.5, up 4.8 in a week. This mirrors our polling with most respondents confident of the direction in which their personal circumstances are heading. Libs lead in Victoria - Roy Morganby Graham Sunday, 07 March 2010 21:11 Roy Morgan research reports that the Liberals are just ahead of Labor in Victoria with 50.5% of the two-party preferred vote. This is despite ALP Premier John Brumby being preferred as premier by 50.5% over Ted Baillieu, the Opposition leader who is preferred by only 30.5%. ALP first preference support of 37.5% was well below the Liberal Party's support of 42%. The poll was taken betwen February 17 and 28th. Latest Newspoll carries a warning for Laborby Graham Tuesday, 02 March 2010 11:59 The latest Newspoll, taken over the 26-28 February, shows little change in the party votes since last election. This ought to be a concern to the ALP as the polls have consistently over-estimated their real level of support between elections.
Two years on, the ‘great moral challenge’ just leaves people in the coldby Graham Sunday, 28 February 2010 11:01 It seemed the perfect issue for the government. Not only was it the “greatest moral challenge of our time” but it had the potential to wedge the Coalition and distract it from campaigning on issues where it could win votes. |
