Perceptions of Julia Gillard
Sunday, 27 June 2010 18:47 | Written by Graham Young

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?

 
Advantage but no honeymoon
Saturday, 26 June 2010 17:49 | Written by Graham Young

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?

Understanding Leximancer
Thursday, 27 May 2010 07:34 | Written by Graham Young

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.

 
Is the Kevin 07 brand tarnished? Radio interview

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.

 
April Omnibus - the quant
Sunday, 09 May 2010 14:24 | Written by Graham Young

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.

 
Strong support for super and company tax changes

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.

 
South Australia 2010 - the qual
Thursday, 11 March 2010 16:18 | Written by Graham Young

Is the state heading in the right direction?

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.
