Told you so.KEVIN Rudd has suffered double-digit falls in his popularity among higher-income earners, full-time workers and people aged 35-49 years as the superstar ratings of earlier in the year returned to more mortal levels in recent weeks, The Australian reports.
A special analysis of Newspoll shows that the Prime Minister has lost support among all demographic groups - male and female, rich and poor, and households with and without children - since the May budget.
...
The hard numbers reinforce focus group polling detailed last week to The Australian that shows the electorate is increasingly disappointed with Mr Rudd - although not yet disillusioned.
Both Newspoll and the research from the Ipsos Mackay group pinpoint the May budget as the moment Mr Rudd's job satisfaction rating began to sour.
...
The most worrying part of the Newspoll research for Mr Rudd is it suggests a window may have already closed on his leadership because he no longer commands the respect of older, wealthier conservative voters.

So much otm in this thread.Peppermint Lounge wrote:It's good to see the Liberal party make some headway though. Nelson, Turnbill and others are true Liberals - economically conservative, socially progressive. Unlike wretched Howard and other zealots from the religious right of the Liberal Party eg: Tony Abbott.

That's what shits me about all the parties. They're all "no nukes!!" ffs. That's fine for weaponry, but there's so much disinformation out there about nuclear power that it's just hopeless to expect that any of them will change their minds.
The sky calls to us; if we do not destroy ourselves, we will one day venture to the stars

You won't get an answer, selfish.
I still think Costello would have been a good PM.
Bang on. Howard was so incredibly offensive that it's easy to forget much of his party didn't side with him on some really crucial issues.unfnknblvbl wrote:John Howard might have been all for nuclear power, but the rest of his party sure isn't.
