With Kevin Rudd reinstalled as Labor Prime Minister, political analysts are now asking whether his return can deliver the party a significant boost in popularity.
Pollsters have been comparing Julia Gillard and Mr Rudd's popularity as leader ever since he was ousted from the top job and they say any bounce is depended on a clean transition.
Former chief Labor pollster Rod Cameron told Lateline that Mr Rudd can deliver the party a 10-point boost in the polls.
"I think that's exactly what will happen," he said.
"I think it's absolutely quite clear that Rudd will achieve a significantly higher primary and preferred vote for Labor. I mean, the judgment call is how long that will last and how long - how much will dissipate over time."
