A Coalition Government, with a slim majority, would now win a Federal Election with the two-party preferred vote: L-NP 52% cf. ALP 48%, the latest Roy Morgan survey finds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The increase in support for the Coalition came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticised the Albanese Government\u2019s approach to Israel and a major strike by Woolworths workers led to shortages of key goods at many stores of Australia\u2019s largest supermarket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary support for both major parties was down: ALP support dropped 2% to 28% (the ALP\u2019s lowest level of support since the last Federal Election) while Coalition support was down 0.5% to 38%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support for the Greens was up 0.5% to 13% and One Nation support was unchanged at 6.5%. Support for Other Parties was unchanged at 4% and support for Independents increased 2% to 10.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRoy Morgan\u2019s latest Federal voting intention shows the Coalition increasing its two-party preferred lead over the ALP: Coalition 52% (up 1%) cf. ALP 48% (down 1%) as tensions increased between the Albanese Government and the Israeli Government led by Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSupport for the government fell after Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu accused the Albanese Government of taking an \u2018extreme anti-Israeli position\u2019. Netanyahu blamed the arson attack on a Melbourne synagogue last week \u2013 now classified as a terrorist act \u2013 on the Government\u2019s failure to call out antisemitism more consistently and firmly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNetanyahu also attacked Australia\u2019s decision to vote in favour of a United Nations motion calling on Israel to end its occupation of the West Bank and Gaza as soon as possible. The vote marked a shift in Australia\u2019s previous position of abstaining or voting against similar resolutions since 2001.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, a major strike at Australia\u2019s largest supermarket chain Woolworths led to shortages in key goods nation-wide and frustration for consumers battling a cost of living crisis.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The latest Roy Morgan survey is based on interviewing a representative cross-section of 1,653 Australian electors from December 2-8, 2024. Of all electors surveyed, 6% (up 0.5% from a week ago) can\u2019t say who they would vote for. When comparing different polls, it is always important to make sure to take note of the dates when the polls are conducted to undertake a proper comparison between two polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When preferences from this week\u2019s Roy Morgan survey are allocated based on how Australians voted at the 2022 Federal Election the two-party preferred result shows a dead-heat with the ALP on 50% (unchanged) level with the L-NP 50% (unchanged).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
