December 8th 2024.
The latest poll conducted by Resolve Political Monitor for The Sydney Morning Herald has revealed that support for the Albanese government has hit an all-time low of 27%. This comes at a time when there is a heated political dispute over the rising cost of living, leaving Labor reeling from a major setback.
According to the survey, a staggering 56% of voters have expressed their lack of confidence in the government's assurances about the state of the economy. In addition, a significant 59% of Australians feel that their financial situation has worsened since Labor came into power in the last election in May 2022, while only 13% believe they are better off.
The research, released today, has also shown that the Coalition is currently leading the race with 38% of voters indicating they would vote for them in the upcoming election, down from 39% in November. Moreover, the Coalition also seems to be winning the debate on economic management, with 36% of voters trusting them over Labor, who only received 27% of the vote in this area.
When asked about their preferred prime minister, voters were split between current Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition leader Peter Dutton, both receiving 35% of the vote. Albanese has been trying to reassure Australians that the government is taking action to ease the burden of the rising cost of living by passing 45 bills in parliament last month. However, it appears that his message of "We have your back" is not resonating with the public.
The Resolve Political Monitor surveyed 1604 eligible voters from last Wednesday to Sunday, which coincided with the release of data showing a stagnant Australian economy. With the next federal election expected to take place in the next six months, the results of this poll serve as a wake-up call for the Albanese government to address the concerns of the Australian people and regain their trust.
