Diverging poll results highlight voter dissatisfaction with the economy and leadership, leaving the election outcome uncertain.
- Labor's primary vote has dropped to 27% in the latest Resolve poll, while the Coalition leads with 38%; other polls suggest a narrower race with two-party-preferred results near 50-50.
- Economic concerns dominate voter sentiment, with 59% feeling worse off since Labor's 2022 victory and only 13% feeling better off.
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is perceived as weaker than Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, though he remains the preferred prime minister in some polls.
- Labor's strategy focuses on future economic improvements, while Dutton emphasizes dissatisfaction with the past three years under Labor's leadership.
- Internal polling and analysts suggest the election remains competitive, with undecided voters likely to play a critical role in determining the outcome.
