The prime minister's satisfaction rate lifted a point to 30 per cent, along with his dissatisfaction rate to 58 per cent, while Opposition Leader Bill Shorten's rates are steady at 36 per cent and 51 per cent, respectively.
Labor has extended its ascendancy over the Coalition to lead by 53 per cent to 47 per cent, boosted by a rise in the opposition’s primary vote to the highest level since Malcolm Turnbull became Prime Minister 14 months ago.
The latest Newspoll, taken exclusively for The Australian, reveals the ALP’s core support has climbed to 38 per cent, up one point in the past fortnight and 3.3 points higher than at the July 2 election.
The Coalition’s primary vote remains below 40 per cent for the fourth consecutive Newspoll survey, and at 39 per cent is 3.1 points lower than at the election.
