Special Morgan ‘Marginal Seats’ Poll:
L-NP set to win Macquarie (West Sydney) & Leichhardt (North Qld)
ALP will hold Brand (WA)


Finding No. 4557 - This special telephone Morgan Poll was conducted in the key marginal seats of Macquarie (NSW), Leichhardt (QLD) and Brand (WA) on the nights of August 11/12, 2010 with a representative cross-section of 925 electors – 309 electors in Macquarie (NSW); 309 electors in Leichhardt (QLD) and 307 electors in Brand (WA).: August 15, 2010

A special telephone Morgan Poll conducted late this week (August 11/12, 2010) in three marginal seats (Macquarie (NSW), Leichhardt (QLD) & Brand (WA)) shows next week’s Federal Election is set to be too close to call — there could be a ‘hung’ Parliament.

The New South Wales electorate of Macquarie shows a swing of 3.1% to the L-NP since the last Federal Election. If there is a 3% uniform swing to the L-NP across New South Wales then the Liberals will gain the seats of Macquarie, Robertson and Page and either Bennelong or Dobell. Previous Roy Morgan marginal seat polling in NSW showed a similar swing only in Macarthur — which is currently held by the Liberals, but notionally Labor after redistribution.

In Queensland, a recorded swing of 6.6% in Leichhardt means the LNP would gain that seat as well as Longman, Flynn, Dawson, Forde, Petrie and possibly Brisbane or Moreton — if that swing were repeated uniformly across Queensland. Previous Roy Morgan Queensland marginal seat polling showed a similar swing in Longman, Flynn and Dawson.

In Western Australia, a swing of 3.1% in Brand is not enough for a Coalition victory, but would result in a Coalition win in Hasluck. Previous Roy Morgan Western Australia marginal seat polling showed a similar swing in Hasluck.

Across the rest of Australia, there’s a possibility the Coalition will lose McEwen and LaTrobe in Victoria and Sturt in South Australia while the ALP will likely lose the seat of Melbourne to the Greens. Yesterday’s Morgan Poll in the Northern Territory showed the Coalition ahead and likely to win Solomon.

On these figures the Election will be close, however if the swing continues in the last week, the L-NP should easily win Government next Saturday.

 

Gary Morgan says:

“The positive ALP publicity in the lead up to last weekend’s Rudd/Gillard reconciliation including their pledge to campaign together in Queensland (last weekend’s Morgan Poll showed the ALP leapt ahead — 57.5% cf. 42.5%) has been quickly forgotten due to extremely poor publicity surrounding their Brisbane meeting — clearly ‘stage managed’ with only one photographer and one journalist allowed to attend their short meeting which resulted in 30 seconds of uneventful TV footage showing them uncomfortable in each other’s presence - followed by no joint Queensland campaigning.

“The significant publicity surrounding Rudd’s acceptance of a job with the United Nations — obviously treating his future role in Parliament as a part-time commitment, and former Labor Leader Mark Latham’s confrontation with Gillard soon resulted in any message of Labor Party unity and ‘Moving Australia Forward’ being completely  dissipated.

“While electors believe Julia Gillard would be the better Prime Minister in the three marginal seats surveyed, a high leader approval rating is far less important than the policies presented (I’ve said this for years). The ALP is seen as the ‘best party’ for health services and education; however the Coalition leads on managing the economy, managing immigration and reducing illegal boat people.

“Julia Gillard’s higher approval rating and image of being the better Prime Minister (over Opposition Leader Tony Abbott) appears unlikely to overcome widespread disunity in the Labor Party, past wasteful Government spending and the poor standing of the Queensland & New South Wales State Labor Governments.

“The Federal Election is set to be close (it could end up being a ‘hung’ Parliament) and either party can still win however the electorate believes the Greens will control the Senate (Greens are attracting disenchanted ALP votes because of their handling of  environmental issues and the ETS issue and their humanitarian position regarding ‘boat’ people), and the ALP will lose a significant number of seats in Queensland and New South Wales — Julia Gillard’s $2.6 billion election rail link will be seen by many as blatant (financially absurd) pork-barrelling  in the seat of Bennelong. It has probably ‘stripped’ her of any credibility on economic matters — such as managing the economy, minimising rises in day-to-day living costs or reducing taxes — and ‘linked’ her to the financially incompetent NSW State Government.”

 

Electors were asked: “If a Federal election for the House of Representatives were being held today, which party would receive your FIRST preference?”

This special telephone Morgan Poll was conducted in the key marginal seats of Macquarie (NSW), Leichhardt (QLD) and Brand (WA) on the nights of August 11/12, 2010 with a representative cross-section of 925 electors — 309 electors in Macquarie (NSW); 309 electors in Leichhardt (QLD) and 307 electors in Brand (WA).
