One of the earliest lessons I learnt in polling public opinion was that the public wanted politicians to be honest, but didn't expect them to be, and that describing a politician as honest was a contradiction in terms. Against this is the strange case of Tony Abbott where "honesty" is a core characteristic that is one of the two that define him - fitness being the other.

Julia Gillard scores with voters for not being Kevin Rudd, for being a woman, and for being intelligent and a competent capable person. The vocabulary that voters use to describe her are all about the head, and not the heart. Is that what they are looking for from a woman politician, or is there an essential contradiction here?

Can Julia Gillard rescue Labor's fortunes in time for the next election, despite the fact she was one of four key decision-makers in everything the federal government has done since 2007?
Just posing this question exposes the fundamental weakness in her position.

I frequently publish Leximancer maps as part of my analysis, and each time I get a few emails asking me to please explain. Well, explanation is a difficult thing to do, so what we are going to do is let you drive the software yourselves using the map that I used to inform my commentary in the previous post on the issues. Now you can check-up on me.

Alison Carabine, Radio National's Breakfast political editor interviewed me about the Rudd brand. My comments are of course based on our research which supports claims by GetUp that youth have moved more strongly against Kevin Rudd than other voters. Actually, our research suggests anyone under 54 is more likely to have moved against him than older voters.

Our results are now four weeks old and possibly miss some of the more recent events. However they are also probably a more reliable guide to longer-term trends.

It’s a good thing for Labor that elections are rarely fought on budgets because initial reactions from our online qualitative polling panel say key voters have switched off Labor.

Labor continues to be in the doldrums; the Liberal Party is increasing its vote at the expense of the Nationals; and the Greens are continuing to hold their own, according to our latest omnibus poll.

Our survey panel has given strong support to the Rudd Government’s announcements about super and company tax. They are less enthusiastic about the resource rental tax, particularly if they are swinging voters.
