The Morrison government is struggling for traction almost two months after dumping Malcolm Turnbull and ahead of the October 20 crucial Wentworth byelection, according to a new poll that gives Labor a thumping lead.
The latest Fairfax-Ipsos poll shows Labor leading the Coalition by 55 per cent to 45 per cent on a two-party-preferred basis. This is up from its 53-47 lead in the last poll a month ago and well ahead of the 51-49 lead it held when Mr Turnbull was prime minister.
