It’s something that election watchers have been waiting for and yesterday was the first sign of the polls tightening. The Sydney Morning Herald/Age Political Monitor has been refreshed and it shows a fall in support for Labor, cutting its primary vote from 34% to 31%. The Coalition has picked up a point moving to 34% with the rest backing minor parties and independent candidates. On a 2-party preferred basis, Labor comes out ahead 51:49 against the Coalition. The poll has a margin of error of just over 2% so what it means is, if replicated on election day, it’s going to be down to the wire, making these last few days before Saturday important. It’s why the leaders are dialling up their media appearances, so brace yourself because there will be more of it… PM Scott Morrison continued his outreach yesterday by appearing on Nine’s A Current Affair where he was asked about the times he’s been “a bulldozer”. And Labor leader Anthony Albanese’s “robust” exchanges with his travelling press pack continued yesterday over the party’s policy costings – he’ll appear at the National Press Club in Canberra today.
