The Turnbull government is on 49% behind Labor’s 51% in two-party preferred terms, the latest Fairfax-Ipsos poll shows. Turnbull’s falling personal standing appears to be leading the broader decline, dropping eight percentage points since June and a large 53 percentage points over the last year, the poll published by Fairfax Media shows. An equal percentage of voters now either approves or disapproves of the way Turnbull is doing his job, giving him a net approval rating of zero. It found support for minor parties had soared to 18%, five percentage points higher than at the 2 July election. The primary vote of the Coalition is down six points to 36% and Labor’s is also down six points to 30%.
