Julia Gillard: Lame Duck PM?

So it has come to this, a Newspoll so abysmally bad that it would make even the most annoyingly optimistic politician cringe. Julia Gillard's personal support has fallen to an embarrassingly low 23%. That means you would struggle to find one in five people who think that the leader of this great nation is doing a good job. The truly humiliating aspect of this is that this Newspoll is the sixth in a row where Tony Abbott has led the Prime Minister in the preferred PM stakes. That says more about Gillard than it does about Abbott, a man that even I struggle to support some days (don't get me wrong, I like Tony, it's just that he doesn't always make it easy...). Tony has jumped to 43%, his highest rating ever. Mr Abbott, in the off chance that you read this, keep up the good work and for God's sake keep your mouth shut!

Looks like the electorate is finally warming to the future Prime Minister...
While Gillard may be struggling to find the one in five people who think that she is doing a good job, Coalition pollsters could throw a rock out the window and hit a dozen people willing to send their vote to the Lib/Nationals, with Newspoll showing that the Coalition has a crushing 50% primary vote. That's right, you read correctly, 50%! At this rate the government would lose in the order of 40 seats and 9 ministers would be joining the unemployment line (like much of the rest of the country thanks to their economic ineptitude...).

With an almost endless list of policy mistake and bringing shame and humiliation on our fine country, all I can say is the sooner we get rid of this rabble the better. Gillard is on the ropes, and even Kevin is more appealing to voters, with 50% of those polled in the latest Newspoll wanting to see a return of the K-Rudd. All that is left is the inevitable decline; stop wasting our time Gillard: Election NOW!
