ALP primary vote slips since election: Newspoll

The federal Labor party's primary vote has fallen to its lowest level since the May 2022 election, a Newspoll survey suggests.

The coalition leads Labor 36 per cent to 34 per cent on primary votes although the ALP still holds a comfortable two-party preferred lead of 53 per cent to 47 per cent, according to the poll published in The Australian on Monday.

The survey of 1225 voters showed a one-percentage-point rise for the Greens to 12 per cent while Pauline Hanson's One Nation was down one point to five per cent.

Support for other minor parties and independents, categorised as "others" in the poll, rose two points to 13 per cent - another new high since the election.

Mr Albanese's popularity as the country's preferred prime minister has also slipped, with his lead over coalition leader Peter Dutton narrowing to 17 points - the tightest margin since the election. 

Satisfaction with Mr Albanese's performance dropped two points to 45 per cent - the lowest since he became prime minister.

Those dissatisfied with the job he was doing as leader rose two points to 46 per cent, delivering a net negative satisfaction rating of minus one.

Mr Dutton's approval ratings rose five points to 37 per cent while a two-point fall in those dissatisfied with him left him at 50 per cent, keeping the coalition leader firmly in negative territory on minus 13.s to 31 per cent.
