Support for the Coalition has fallen below levels recorded during the 2022 election amid a wave of personal approval for Anthony Albanese.
A Newspoll for The Australian on Sunday found support for the Coalition and Peter Dutton has drastically dropped compared to earlier this year when the majority of voters believed it would win the May 3 election.
Voters who planned on backing the Coalition fell one point to 35 per cent from a high of 40 per cent in November and 39 per cent in January.
It’s the lowest support for the party has sunk since the failed Voice referendum in October 2023.
Personal support for Mr Dutton has also dropped with his approval rating now sitting at the lowest recorded for an opposition leader during an election campaign since Bill Shorten.
Mr Dutton’s approval rating fell one point to 37 per cent while his dissatisfaction rating rose to 56 per cent, resulting in a net rating of -19.
Meanwhile, Mr Albanese’s net rating rose to -4, up from -20 recorded in February, his worst result since the last federal election.
More to come…
