Rather than the nasty "Game on" from Miss Gillard it looks like "Game over".
Even in Victoria it looks bad & could see the loss of 5 or more seats including so called "safe seats" are in jeopardy under Miss Gillards catastrophic leadership.
I wonder if there will be dancing in the streets after we see the demise of her & her ilk like the disgraceful antics & comment we are seeing from the left at the moment.
I know there will be great celebration in our street after the Sept. election. but there won't be singing of "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" our street has more class than that.
Nielsen poll dip.
Today's Nielsen poll, published in Fairfax papers, shows support for Labor slipping below 30 per cent for the first time in 10 months.
The poll puts Labor's primary vote down two points at 29 per cent, while support for the Coalition has risen two points to 49 per cent.
On a two party-preferred basis, the Coalition is ahead on 57 per cent, while Labor sits at 43 per cent.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott leads Ms Gillard in the preferred prime minister stakes 50 per cent to 42 per cent.
It is the first time Labor's primary vote has slipped below 30 per cent since June 2012, before the carbon tax was introduced.
The poll follows a big week for Ms Gillard, who has also announced a strategic partnership deal with China and an overhaul of Australia's superannuation system.
Fifty-two per cent of those polled opposed the superannuation changes, despite the Government saying they would only affect about 16,000 of Australia's top earners.

There's always the possibility of change in opinions. Hewson losing the "unlosable election", Keating winning the "unwinnable election", and even though already down the Lindsay flyer scandal cementing Howards loss. It's probably Abbott who will win, but as they say ' a week in politics...'

I suppose it's only understandable that Labor leaners are frightened & desperate & will cling onto any nefarious vain hope that things will improve for Labor.
This is contravertable evidence of a downward spiral trend for Labor & the catastrophic decline under Miss Gillard. I could say Miss Gillards leadership but that is drawing too long a bow considering what she has brought them all to.

Polls agree. Labor is cactus
Essential Media poll today - slight narrowing of the 2PP gap to “just” 10 points. Labor 45 to the Coalition 55.
Roy Morgan says it’s Labor 44.5 to the Coalition 55.5.
And there’s still the Budget to come just a month from now.

Every poll is saying the same thing. Gillards massive fail on all fronts to lift the Labor party out of the death zone.
It's no longer about will they lose the election but about how badly they will lose .
They deserve to lose, they stood back & let Rudd & Gillard trash all Labor values, trash the Labor brand, launch a class war, rule by divide & turn some Australians against others, slime our sportsmen & women without any proof.
The demise of this despised government will see Labor in the wilderness for many years to come & that's exactly where they deserve to be.

Murdochs guys and girls are doing a fine job for tone eh ?. the poll is within the margin of errror also, which translated means there may have been no change at all. thats the part they dont tell you.
I watched sky news this morning and a poll stated 1 in 4 Australians are against the super changes, this also allows a margin of error.
What makes you think Mr Murdoch is so responsible for EVERYTHING in the paper. LL I think you are a bit paranoid.

no, it isn't just murdoch . but he has 70% . the abc reported this incorrectly as did fairfax. with most media outlets getting it wrong .. how can that be paranoia ? its reality. thats not democratic its despotic.

Talk about hypocritical & your confected outrage at nero for the same thing & here you are using the flag to drape yourself in. Will it cover your true colours?
