The 70% increase in postal vote applications has clearly made them less conservative than usual. Labor has picked up a nearly 6% swing on the 400,000+ postals counted today, compared with 3.3% at booths and pre-polls.
As noted by Malarndirri McCarthy on the ABC, heavily indigenous booths in Qld have voted yes as follows: Palm Island 75%, Thursday Island 74%, Lockhart River 66%, Pormpuraaw 56%. and

The “poor polling at home” reported here for Volodymyr Zelensky turns out to be a *net* trust rating of 32%, i.e. 32% more people trust than distrust him, which is misreported here as simply a trust rating of 32%.

Until the last poll a fortnight ago, Newspoll counted any Clive Palmer votes as "others", i.e. not Coalition, Labor, Greens or One Nation. These votes were split pretty much 50-50 as preferences, based on the 2016 election result.

To understand what this means, you need to know that Morrison can rely upon the Daily Telegraph to serve his interests rather than public's. Labor has no comparable asset. Yet if/when Labor loses the next election, we'll be told it had no one to blame but itself. 2/2

The first relates to STATE polling.
The Victorian State Election was exactly four months ago today.
Polling DID NOT pick a second "Danslide".
Likewise, it didn't predict what now seems a likely outcome in NSW: a Labor majority.
This whole thread is gobsmackingly moronic. In Australia, and many other countries besides, electoral boundaries are a subject of no controversy whatsoever, because they are drawn by independent, non-partisan commission
The West Australian "has obtained data that shows 1.8 million people in WA were enrolled to vote, but 228,250 of those didn’t"? The data is freely available right here: . And the "extraordinary number" was hardly different from the 2022 election.
EXCLUSIVE: An extraordinary number of West Australians did not vote in the Indigenous Voice referendum and will now receive letters from the Australian Electoral Commission asking them to explain themselves or pay a fine.

The days when a govt minister was sacked by Malcolm Fraser for not declaring a colour tv on return from overseas. How standards have changed. I’m the one and only girl in the middle
Not over yet, but Labor would now be breathing easier after a very nervous state. Eight booths in on the primary vote, Poll Bludger Labor probability estimate is 83%.
Pronounced gender gap in the new Ipsos poll. Male: ALP 34, L-NP 35, GRN 8, ALP +5 on TPP, Morrison 37 approval and 45 disapproval. Female: ALP 37, L-NP 28, GRN 12, ALP +16 on TPP, Morrison 29 approval and 51 disapproval.
Greens state director Clare Quinn should pull her head in. "Gerrymander" talk is Trumpian hyperbole that undermines confidence in a fair system that's working well. Worse than hyperbole, in fact - completely unsupported by facts.

Roy Morgan has its second federal poll release in a couple of days, this one to ascertain if the Ukraine war has made any difference. Headline TPP indication: it hasn't. Primary votes: not provided.
Without a doubt, the narrative that JobSeeker has fuelled the hit to Albanese's personal numbers will be underplayed by news media who want it to be all about his gaffes. But it perfectly explains the voting intention numbers.

Roy Morgan has the Coalition ahead 50.5-49.5, although I make it 53-47 to Labor based on previous election preferences. Primary votes: Labor 32%, Coalition 36%, Greens 14%, One Nation 4.5%. Sample 1383, polling conducted October 16 to 22.
Whether the Coalition really does get 60% of UAP prefs, compared with the 53.7% they got from PUP in 2013 (and prefs were being directed their way then as well), remains to be seen. But it's not a judgement founded in polling as such.

No, it doesn't. The leading question on behalf of an interested party was whether Cook was "qualified to be Premier, given his performance in health". This isn't an "approval rating" and does not represent a "slip", because the question (with good reason) hasn't been asked before
This is no longer via the ropey method as

Morrison “hatched a radical and, until now, secret plan” with then-attorney-general Christian Porter’s approval.
“Porter advised that it could be done through an administrative instrument and didn’t need appointment by the Governor-General”
So so wrong.
Macnamara is no longer in the AEC's close seats list because they've pulled the TCP count, not because it's no longer in doubt. The ABC's prognosis is that it's "incredibly close".

The AEC website has removed Macnamara from it’s ‘in doubt’ list about 20 mins ago and the ABC says it’s highly unlikely Labor doesn’t get the seat. Bonham I think is assuming the postals will follow the 2019 trend, which I don’t think is accurate this time around.

Give generously to the fight against this monstrous assault on freedom of expression. Then do everything in your power to evict Peter Dutton from office.
Incredible news that the crowdfunding we set up to help Refugee Activist Shane Bazzi stand up against Peter Dutton in court is now at $100,000! Dutton thought he was taking on a penniless activist, but he didn't count on how powerful we are together.
Courier-Mail journalists must life in a permanent state of life-threatening nervous distress. Literally everything they report on in shocking, sensational, extraordinary or explosive.

on the absurdity of the Teal Independents, hyped daily by the ABC. The traditional Labor aspiration of better deals for the poor/dispossessed is admirable. By contrast the Teals are a political wrap-around for funders. Agree major parties 'did this'.

#Newspoll
51.2 to ALP (and Labor really did do badly on the rounding there, before rounding it was 51.249.) Nothing has still happened in 2PP land in 3 months, very little has happened in 7.
Seriously though - Lib polling shows there has been a 5% swing away from them in the past week, and they want us to think this is because of expectations they will win getting out of hand? After this of all weeks?
How is it trolling to doubt that the Prime Minister's office is telling the truth about the very subject they openly lied about a couple of days ago? And frankly, I can't see anything in Peter's tweet to which even a Liberal partisan could reasonably object.
In the check count CDP lead LDP by ~5K.
AJP lead KSO by 5K.
I'm very doubtful either KSO or LDP can overtake AJP or CDP respectively on preferences which means they're both in losing positions right now.
