The polling is all one way at the moment and Sydney Morning Herald and The Age chief political correspondent David Crowe says the Resolve poll showed a “powerful shift in sentiment in every major indicator”.

“Primary vote, preferred prime minister, ratings on leadership performance and opinions about which side is best on key policies. Labor has gained on all counts,”

“It looks as if Labor has finally marshalled its forces to win back voters with better policies and a more convincing message. The mystery is why it took so long. The prospect of imminent defeat finally jolted the insiders into action.”

The Australian’s political editor and Liberal Party insider Simon Benson, the opposition leader has “vacated the field” and allowed momentum to stall.

Reckon Dutton will go back to doing what he does - culture wars.  Expect more extreme and hyperbolic headlines about immigration, etc.  across the Murdoch media outlets in coming days.
