Coalition trails Labor by 10 points for third poll in a row

The Coalition’s two-party-preferred vote of 45% to Labor’s 55% in the Newspoll confirms a sustained slump at the end of the last parliamentary sitting fortnight of 2018 and is in line with the 46-54 deficit in last week’s Essential poll.

Monday’s result is the first time a government has trailed by 10 points for three consecutive polls since Julia Gillard’s last three Newspolls before she was replaced by Kevin Rudd in 2013.
