Polls Thread Mk III

[Lebbo73]

Predictions for the next newspoll? I'm thinking it'll be pretty close to 50-50.

53-47 Coalition/Labor

 

[moistie]

53-47 Coalition/Labor

 

[Showbags]

53-47 Coalition/Labor

No chance.

I think 52-48 or 51-49 to Labor is more realistic

 

[pjcrows]

50-50 or better for LNP

 

[pjcrows]

We have our first poll - ReachTEL - 50-50

 

[ag6858]

We have our first poll - ReachTEL - 50-50

Fantastic result for Labor

 

[Maggie5]

Maybe for once we may have a positive election based on who has the better policies?

 

[NTRabbit]

Oh Maggie5, you sweet summer child

 

[Nankervis brothers]

we can but dream

50/50. I believe that was precisely the 2pp immediately after Rudd replaced Gillard.

Nah the Coalition will still be campaigning so that wont happen.

Galaxy Poll shows Libs leading 51-49, with Turnbull Preferred PM over Shorten by 51% to 20%.

So the bounce is in effect.

Who the hell is getting these polls? Don't know of anyone who has ever been involved in one. It's concerning that they wield so much influence

 

[Father Jack]

that's the power of sampling for you

I've had 3 or 4. All of them while being in a marginal seat.

I had one robocall under Abbott and it hung up on me as soon as I selected Labor. Probably Newspoll.

Does anyone know at what age voting is voluntary, is it 70?

 

[Gough]

You gettin' there Mags?

 

[Maggie5]

You gettin' there Mags?

Yep

 

[Gough]

I'm watching the new Keef Richards doco on Netflix, if I can make it 71, and be half as cool as he is I'll be happy. Quite pleased that Keef, and I share the same ideas about what music is.

It becomes voluntary when you die. Most people elect not to vote after that.

Think you may be wrong but thanks for very thoughtful reply.

It's accurate though. Voting is compulsory for all ages in federal elections.

States do have different rules for their own elections, i.e. In Vic for council elections you are excused if above 70yo.

You can always not vote, there are valid reasons not to.

Galaxy seem to have a systemic liberal bias, but half half seems about right. Will swing back the other way in a few polls, but expect a honeymoon period like with Rudd Gillard.

If Turnbull keeps the same policies, then the cosmetics will narrow the gap but not give libs a lead long term

Yeah vic is different in Council. Got confused as I used to drive some elderly ladies to vote but they stopped going, thought it was to do with their age.

Morgan Poll says 55/45. So who is the one that is dreaming?
