At the beginning of the 2025 federal election campaign, the latest Accent Research | RedBridge MRP estimates that while a minority government still looks to be the most likely outcome, Labor are the favourites, and are within reach of a parliamentary majority

I had the pleasure of talking to Marija and @markgkenny.bsky.social for the latest ep of Democracy Sausage, about our recent polling We discussed how different groups are voting, the Coalition's weakness on economic policy & the political geography of the election ausi.anu.edu.au/news/democra...

I've been really happy with how News has been willing to represent the uncertainty in sampling (which is the heart of opinion polling). This is the first time I am aware of a major Australian media outlet doing this We're in the field now with more polling. Watch this space

Ah, political advice from Joel ("$250000 a year is not wealthy") Fitzgibbon If Labor agreed to this and backed a Coalition minority govt that pushed through mostly unpopular reforms (regardless of their merit) it would destroy the party

What is polling saying about public opinion in the lead up for the federal election? I joined Marija Taflaga and @markgkenny.bsky.social on the Democracy Sausage podcast to answer these questions (and plugged our latest tracking poll)

As another Trump-induced market crisis unfolds from tariffs, it's time we ask "What's the Matter with Billionaires?" I've run the numbers. Billionaires do better under Dems. So why do billionaires keep supporting GOP policies against their economic interests? See my latest piece on why. (TLDR 🧵⬇️)

It should be noted that these results are a snapshot of public opinion at a point in time, not a prediction. In particular, vote intention (especially among Labor voters) remains soft, which could add some volatility to support over the next few months.

They also show that in wave 2 of the track, a slightly larger share of voters believed Australia is heading in the right direction

If the shift is real, it’s almost certainly the result of the 25 basis point cut in interest rates by the Reserve Bank. Voters also mention the Whyalla steelworks announcement as a reason that their view of Albanese and the Labor Party has improved in the last week.

This second wave of the Election Track used the same methodology as the first. It surveyed 1,004 voters across 20 key seats (see below) with a ±3.4% margin of error. After weighting, the effective sample size was 809

On Sunday, the News Ltd papers published the second of the RedBridge and Accent Research key seats tracking polls This showed that Labor’s vote has improved since the first wave of the track

three posts down in a thread (as well as there literally being error bars in the figure they reposted) imagine being this confident, and this wrong. how embarrassing.

This will inordinately impact women. Almost like it was designed to do so. www.news.com.au/finance/work...

if you're a polling firm and you have Labor's primary vote for the Queensland state election at 23% in June – September, and then 32% in October, I'm not going to take you seriously

The US is currently gutting the best research system the world has ever seen If Australia had built a world class university system rather than turning our institutions into degree mills cashing in on the intentional student market, we’d be in an excellent position to attract a lot of talent

but at least they'll get tax cuts

They are a mix of metropolitan and regional seats across each state, and comprise both Labor and Coalition-held electorates

The electorates chosen were selected because they are likely to be close. At the last election these seats had a Labor two-party preferred vote of 51%. But they were also selected to provide a good representation of different parts of Australia.

These polls are designed to provide voters with information normally reserved for major party campaigns, giving readers a window into what the campaigns see that others do not Here is the estimated primary and 2pp vote intention in these key seats

Yesterday, the News Ltd papers published the first in a series of RedBridge / Accent key seats tracking polls This showed a 3% two-party swing towards the Coalition in 20 key battleground seats

I’ve put together a post comparing the last Redbridge/Accent MRP to today’s YouGov MRP. Similar top lines and seat counts but lots of differences in the detail. www.tallyroom.com.au/59127?jetpac...

If you want to understand more about MRPs, my latest podcast is with Shaun Ratcliff, the guy behind the Redbridge/Accent MRP.

If management can’t get employees to work productively from home, that’s a skill issue on their part

In the latest episode of the Tallyroom podcast, I joined @benraue.com to discuss the state of play as the federal election year kicks off. We spoke about polling, including the MRP polls conducted by Accent Research with Redbridge

The Tally Room podcast is back for 2025, with @shaunratcliff.bsky.social looking at the state of play in the lead up to the federal election. #auspol www.tallyroom.com.au/59051
