Labor party bounces back in latest Newspoll in wake of Manus death [View all]

Labor has pulled ahead of the government in two-party-preferred terms a month after Bill Shorten’s personal satisfaction rating slumped by eight percentage points.

Labor’s primary vote support sits at 39% in the latest Newspoll, the Australian reports.

The government’s primary vote support has dropped to 39% from 41% putting Labor in the lead on a two-party-preferred basis 54%-46%.

Voters are dissatisfied with both leaders though, with 52% unsatisfied with the performance of the prime minister, Tony Abbott, and 39% dissatisfied with Shorten.

And note that Newspoll is owned by Murdoch, so they're never going to have a bias towards Labor.
