Labor's stock slides in latest Newspoll

AFTER a year in which Labor made some inroads against a more popular opposition, the government is back where it started from - a measly 32 per cent of the primary vote against the coalition's 46 per cent, the latest Newspoll shows.

The Australian newspaper on Tuesday says Labor's primary support climbed as high as 36 per cent during the spring session of federal parliament on the belief the worst was over with the introduction of the carbon tax.

The paper says the AWU slush fund controversy, although fended off by Prime Minister Julia Gillard as smear and sleaze, has taken a toll, whittling its vote to 32 per cent - where it was in February.

On a two-party preferred basis, the Tony Abbott-led coalition has opened a clear election-winning lead of 54 per cent to Labor's 46 per cent.

At the August 2010 election, Labor lost its parliamentary majority with a two-party preferred result of 50.1 per cent to the coalition's 49.9 per cent.

The paper says if an election were held now, based on the Newspoll results, the Gillard government would lose at least 14 seats.

However, Ms Gillard maintains a commanding lead on who would make the better prime minister, leading Mr Abbott by 43 per cent (down three points) to 34 per cent (up one point).

Voter satisfaction for Ms Gillard's performance eased one point to 36 per cent, with dissatisfaction steady at 52 per cent, while satisfaction with Mr Abbott slipped two points to 28 per cent and dissatisfaction falling two points to 59 per cent.
