| Polls show 2019 election win an uphill battle for Morrison government | |
| (about 11 hours later) | |
| Scott Morrison’s task to win the Coalition a third term still appears out of sight, despite the prime minister recording his best ever Newspoll. | |
| Two polls out on Sunday night suggest voters’ dislike of the opposition leader Bill Shorten won’t stop Labor winning a majority government in the May election. | |
| A Newspoll published by the Australian suggests the government trails Labor 48-52 on a two-party-preferred basis. | |
| That is an improvement from the 46-54 poll a month ago and marks the Coalition’s best result since Malcolm Turnbull was dumped as leader in August 2018. | |
| The Ipsos poll, published by the Age and the Sydney Morning Herald, suggested the Labor lead is six points (53-47). | |

| Labor only needs a uniform swing of about 1% to win majority government. | |
| A 3% swing to Labor would lead to senior ministers Peter Dutton and David Coleman losing their seats. | |
| Despite each poll’s dire warning for the Coalition, both continue to suggest almost half of all voters approve of Morrison while about 36% were in favour of Shorten’s performance. | |
| In the Ipsos poll, Morrison also maintains a net approval rating of positive nine percentage points, while the Labor leader’s net approval has dropped three points to minus 15. | |
