What you said about Newspoll results for 2025 federal election

The race for the 2025 election is heating up but many remain unconvinced who is in the lead. HAVE YOUR SAY

Dutton’s done or Albo’s out?

It has been revealed just a few days into the election race that Labor has taken an early lead after falls in both the Coalition’s primary vote and support for Peter Dutton.

According to the latest Newspoll conducted for The Australian voters branded the government’s budget last week as the worst for the economy in a decade.

The exclusive poll shows Labor leading the Coalition 51-49 per cent on a two-party-preferred basis at the start of the campaign, which is shaping up to be a fight over energy prices, income tax cuts and fuel tax relief.

The result – Labor’s best this year and consistent with the 2022 election result – also represented a two-point gain for the Albanese government over the past three weeks.

Meanwhile, the Coalition’s primary vote has fallen two points to 37 per cent, its lowest this year, and only 1.3 per cent above its last election result.

So what do readers think?

Many refuse to believe Prime Minister Anthony Albanese can hold his role, while others insisted Opposition leader Dutton can’t win the election on May 3.

Others, meanwhile, said they remain unsure what to think amid an ongoing political mess.

I don’t know where these polls come from but that's not how I’m reading it. Look at social media forums, it's the same way I’m reading the room as with the Voice referendum, Labor are gone.

The Liberals have a problem – Peter Dutton.

When will the Liberals wake up? Get rid of Dutton NOW. He is, and always has been, an electoral liability. Just do it!

Who knows

Koala Steve

If polling is right No Australians are suffering from cost of living crisis Australians are happy to saddle Trillions of dollars in debt To there children Shocked

Clifford

If this is in fact an accurate poll of the voters thinking, then it confirms that the majority of Australians are completely dumb in terms of political issues.

Fusion

People could not possibly be so stupid to support the useless government led by Albanese and the Incompetents.

Val

The polls said Kamala Harris would be US President.

Donna

This country is too expensive and many people are affected by the high cost of living. The taxes and bills are too high. You cannot run a business in this country. This country lacks leadership.
