Labor retains a 51-49 two-party preferred lead over the Coalition heading into the final week of the federal election campaign, according to the latest Newspoll survey.
According to theaustralian.com.au
“With both sides preparing for a final electoral assault, with a $10 million advertising war starting today, Labor remains in the box seat to win government and retains its 51-49 per cent lead over the Coalition on a two-party-preferred basis.
“In a contest that remains tight, core support for the Coalition rose one point to 39 per cent, equal to the best result it has recorded since September 2016. However, it remains 3.1 points down on the last election, which resulted in the number of Coalition seats being slashed and left the Turnbull government with a one-seat majority.”
