As Albo butchers everything in sight, Roy Morgan is recording big gains for the Dutton opposition:

For the third straight week the political momentum is all in one direction in favor of the Coalition. After winning the Fadden by-election the Coalition has gained further ground on the Labor government on a two-party preferred basis. Support for the Albanese government is down another one percent to 52 percent and now just ahead of the Coalition on 48 this is the closest result so far this year and is virtually the same as last year’s election result which gave the ALP a bare majority of one seat.

For the first time this year a majority of men favor the Coalition 51.5 per cent to 48.5 percent while in the states the Coalition now leads in New South Wales 51 to 49 and in Queensland 53.5 to 46.5 percent.

However, despite ALP Premier Daniel Andrews cancellation of the Commonwealth Games the Albanese government still leads in Victoria 55.5 to 44.5 percent and the ALP leads even more strongly in Western Australia 58.5 to 41.5 on a two-party preferred basis. This week Western Australians in the state electorate of Rockingham until now held by former Premier Mark McGowan will vote for a new local member in a test of the state government’s standing. The key issue will be the Aboriginal cultural heritage Act.

The woke pearl grabbers will start to label the whole country racist shortly. This will make it much worse for Mad Albo.

For this is not that. It is political and economic mismanagement as

  • real wages crash,
  • a GDP per capita recession rages,
  • mass immigration plus energy policy failures deliver a stagflationary shock cratering living standards for the majority, as
  • Mad Albo distracts with, and is distracted by, Voice, and Chicken Chalmers sticks his head up his own Woke GDP arse.

Is Mad Albo a John Howard or a Kevin Rudd?

The former was an excellent, non-judgmental listener to public opinion and pivoted regularly.

The latter was a tin-eared, arrogant dismisser of public opinion and never pivoted straight into the ground.

Mad Albo is (so far) more like Rudd 2.0 as an “unelectable” opposition leader makes significant inroads into the spectacular lead of a self-sabotaging PM.
