Labor, who are in government have been pretty milquetoast, so they were rising in the polls. Even as preferred prime minister for Dutton, the (conservative) libs leader. However, as it became clear an election was to be called imminently, Dutton has dropped significantly in the polls. It seems like a grass is greener situation, but as people check out the other grass, they realise it’s just green paint on shit.
It probably hasn’t helped that they linked themselves to trump in the past and have recently tried to fawn over musk in the hopes he would fund them. I think, similar to how Canada is rallying with nationalism against trump and the libs there had a turnaround in fortunes. However, the situation the USA is less real here as we don’t trade as much and the tariffs don’t really affect people, just billionaires, who were already unpopular.
