This election campaign has turned into a dumpster fire for Peter Dutton and the Coalition.
After leading Labor on a two-party preferred basis, the Coalition collapsed in the polls, losing virtually every opinion poll since early March.
The results of today’s Newspoll show little change, with the Coalition’s primary vote dropping to 35%—below the level of the last election —and Opposition leader Peter Dutton now trailing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as preferred Prime Minister by 38% to 49%.

Newspoll now has Labor ahead 52% to 48% on a two-party preferred basis, suggesting a hung parliament or a slim Labor majority.

Voting for either major party is like picking between two different types of poison.
The only policies in the Coalition’s favour are its excellent gas reservation policy and its promise to run a smaller immigration program.
Sadly, the prospects of either policy coming to fruition are slim given Labor’s likely election victory.
