Title Albanese's Approval Rating Hits Record Low A Hung Parliament Looms?
A recent Newspoll survey has sent shockwaves through Australian politics, revealing a significant shift in public opinion that poses a major threat to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's re-election plans just months ahead of a national election.
According to the survey, Albanese's approval rating has hit a record low of minus 21, indicating unprecedented discontent among voters. A staggering 53 percent of respondents believe the Labor government does not deserve re-election, while only 34 percent support keeping them in office.
The survey's findings are particularly concerning for Albanese, as they suggest that his government may struggle to form a majority government if an election were held today. The opposition Liberal-National Coalition maintains its lead on a two-party-preferred basis, with Labor's primary vote stuck at 31 percent – a drop from their 2022 election result.
What is driving this shift in public opinion? Despite implementing measures aimed at pleasing families and businesses grappling with high living costs and boosting jobs, the Albanese-led Labor government has struggled to lift support. The Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) restrictive monetary policy has also contributed to the government's woes, as it looks to bring inflation to its target band while preserving employment gains.
The RBA's decision to hold interest rates steady for over a year has been particularly challenging for households and businesses, leading to increased discontent among voters. The central bank is widely expected to cut rates for the first time since late 2020 on Tuesday, which could provide some relief but may not be enough to turn the tide in Albanese's favor.
In conclusion, the latest Newspoll survey paints a grim picture for Albanese and his government. With a hung parliament looming, it remains to be seen how the Labor government will respond to these challenges and what measures they will take to regain public trust.
