As we near the end of the year and approach the 2025 election, new polls have been released that shed light on the public's perception of our nation's leaders. According to the annual Resolve Political Monitor, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's popularity has taken a hit, while the opposition is gaining traction. It seems that the current prime minister is facing some challenges when it comes to winning over the hearts of the people.
Compared to last year's rating of minus 3 percent, Albanese's popularity has dropped significantly to minus 17 percent. This news is particularly crucial as it puts him behind Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, who has seen a jump in popularity from minus 12 to a score of zero. Interestingly, Nationals leader David Littleproud has emerged as the most well-liked political leader, surpassing even the Greens' Adam Bandt and One Nation's Pauline Hanson, who both received a rating of minus 13. When asked about his success in the polls, Littleproud humbly stated, "There's a fine line between authenticity and madness."
On the other end of the spectrum, the poll revealed that the least-liked MP is Greens-turned-independent Senator Lidia Thorpe. She made headlines earlier this year for shouting at King Charles during his visit to Parliament House. In contrast, the most popular politician is Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie. When approached by 9News for a comment, Lambie was unable to make time as she is currently camping. Her relatable and down-to-earth nature is something that both the prime minister and the opposition leader will strive to achieve as they ramp up their efforts for the upcoming election.
It's clear that popularity plays a significant role in politics, and it seems that the current prime minister has some work to do in that department. As the election approaches, all eyes will be on the leaders as they vie for the public's support. Will they be able to win over the hearts and minds of the people, or will they continue to struggle in the polls? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure - the race for popularity has officially begun.
