Analysis: Morrison’s gains show Labor cannot underestimate its opponent | CroweDM
Scott Morrison has surprised his opponents before and is in a strong position to do it again when voters are clearly receptive to his message about the pandemic.
Now, when voters are asked who is best for themselves and their households, 36 per cent choose Morrison and the Coalition and 23 per cent choose Albanese and Labor. All the Coalition gain came from male voters. The primary vote among women did not budge. Even so, Morrison has more support among women than many commentators assume. Asked to nominate their preferred prime minister, 42 per cent of women name Morrison and 20 per cent name Albanese.
Some of the polling also overlapped with Morrison’s announcement last Thursday that people aged from 16 to 39 could start getting the Pfizer vaccine, even though that news took states and territories by surprise and did not come with any additional supply.The margin of error is 2.5 percentage points. While the results suggest the Coalition has a narrow lead over Labor in two-party terms, assuming preferences flow as they did at the last election, this is within the margin of error.
