The poll is bad news for Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, considering the election will be held next month. Morrison has maintained his lead on key personal approval ratings but the government has fallen from the two-party result of 49 to 51 per cent in February. The result of 53 to 47 per cent is based on preference flows at the last election. The strong flow of second preferences from Greens voters to the Labor Party gives Labor a significant lead over the Coalition in two-party terms. Australia will hold its election next month, with Morrison expected to choose May 18 as election day.
