Seven in 10 voters predict Howard victory
Herald Sun ^ | 16 October 2006

SEVEN in 10 voters believe John Howard will win a fifth successive election next year, a new poll has found.

Only one in five predict a victory for Labor, according to an ACNielsen poll published in Fairfax newspapers today.

This is a higher proportion of voters forecasting a coalition win than at any time in the three previous election campaigns – despite successive polls putting Labor ahead.

The poll of 1400 people, conducted between October 5 and 7, has Labor eight points ahead of the coalition on a two-party preferred basis by 54 per cent to 46 per cent.

After health, industrial relations is the main reason the Howard government is trailing Labor, the poll has found. However, the IR changes are a much higher concern to Labor voters, at 29 per cent, than coalition voters (6 per cent).

Yes, Howard will win again much to the consternation of Australia's Left.

7 in 10! Wow! That's great! I hope that is a sign of things to come for the USA these November elections.

Have fun celebrating! Well earned!

P.S. Can you ship some of our liberals to Australia? Your 7 in 10 poll has some wiggle room and we need to get rid of some US Garbage!
