A new Morgan poll this morning and once again little in it to stop Liberal backbenchers muttering that Treasurer Peter Costello might have been right all along last year when he told John Howard it was time for him to step down.

Taken by phone on July 11 and 12, Morgan puts the two-party preferred vote share at 42.5% for the Coalition and 57.5% for Labor. That is a slight decline for Labor but brings Morgan in to line with the other national pollsters. Read the full detail here.

Gary Morgan commented this morning that he has the Rudd ALP Opposition in a clear ‘winning position’ in every Poll since just after Rudd was elected ALP leader in December.

The latest telephone Morgan Poll shows the LNP vote at 37.5% (up 2.5% in a week) with the Labor primary vote at 47.5%, Greens at 9% and others 6%. For the second week the ‘undecided’ or ‘refused to vote’ was low.
