Phrasing makes the story of course.
"Slumping"
"Worst"
"Damaging"
"Heavy defeat"
Over a two percent swing against them, and they're still ahead of the opposition, but it's all doom and gloom for Labor, isn't it?
I mean glancing through the article shows polling for them isn't fantastic, but that kind of title just doesn't get the clicks.
the hit was inevitable after the voice, but that will blow over. even as someone who is generally pretty happy with the government, they are dropping the ball on cost of living and arent even talking about it, i'd expect no less from the coalition but labor are better than this
Eh, it's 10 points down on PM approval, with a net approval decline of 40 (!) in 3 months. I think the descriptions are pretty fair when applied to the combination of polls, especially since "worst" is objective in this context.
Hmm maybe I am responding more to the emphasis on the negativity in the summary/title than the actual numbers.
