A special telephone Morgan Poll conducted over the last two nights finds the ALP is 10% ahead of the Coalition on a two-party preferred basis: 55% to 45%.  This is the same two-party result as last week’s telephone Morgan Poll.

In the past week, Labor’s primary vote has fallen 2.5% from 46% to 43.5% while the Coalition’s vote has remained steady at 40%.  The Greens vote has increased 2% from 7.5% to 9.5%.

Gary Morgan says:

“This latest telephone Morgan Poll on Federal voting intention identifies a reduction in the ALP primary vote over the last three special telephone Morgan Polls: from 49% on May 16-17, to 46% on June 5-7 and 43.5% over the last two nights.  In other words, there has been a softening in the ALP vote.

“However, on a two-party preferred basis, the Howard Government still trails by 10 percentage points.”

Margin of Error

The margin of error to be allowed for in any estimate depends mainly on the number of interviews on which it is based. The following table gives indications of the likely range within which estimates would be 95% likely to fall, expressed as the number of percentage points above or below the actual estimate. The figures are approximate and for general guidance only, and assume a simple random sample. Allowance for design effects (such as stratification and weighting) should be made as appropriate.

Sample Size	Percentage Estimate
	40%-60%	25% or 75%	10% or 90%	5% or 95%
500	±4.5	±3.9	±2.7	±1.9
1,000	±3.2	±2.7	±1.9	±1.4

The Morgan Poll accurately predicted that the ALP would win the 2006 Queensland election with a reduced majority (sample 604 electors).

The Morgan Poll accurately predicted that the ALP would win the 2006 Victorian election with a reduced majority (sample 956 electors).  The Morgan Poll was also the most accurate on the primary vote of the major parties for the Victorian election.

The Morgan Poll is conducted by the ONLY Australian and New Zealand member of the Gallup International Association.

No other public opinion poll taken in Australia has this qualification.
