The Coalition government has lost its 29th consecutive Newspoll, finishing behind the Labor party 47 to 53 on a two-party preferred basis.
The latest Newspoll consisting of 1,597 voters that was published in The Australian shows Labor’s primary vote is also climbing to 39% against the Coalitions standstill of 37%.
There is concern for the Coalition as this brings Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull closer to the significant 30th poll, which he believes was one of the reasons for defeating Tony Abbott in 2015.
