Bombshell Newspoll reveals who the majority of Australian voters believe is going to win the upcoming federal election

New poll results show voters are losing faith in Prime Minister Anthony Albanese (pictured with his fiancee Jodie Haydon on Saturday) as his approval rating falls to its worst result since the 2022 election.

Many voters believe Peter Dutton will become Australia’s next prime minister as Anthony Albanese’s approval rating falls below Scott Morrison ahead of his defeat in the 2022 federal election.

TO news survey of 1,259 voters last week found that 53 per cent expect the Liberal/National Coalition to win the next election, compared to 47 per cent for the Labor Party.

The results marked the first time that a majority of voters believed the Coalition would win the election, which will be held no later than May.

Just five months ago, 55 per cent of voters backed a Labor victory.

Albanese also saw a drop in his approval rating: his performance rating fell to 37 percent, while dissatisfaction rose to 57 percent, giving the Prime Minister a net negative approval rating of -20.

The result was a six-point drop since the last poll in December and Albanese’s worst rating since the 2022 election.

Albanese’s approval rating is now worse than Morrison’s at the same point in the 2022 election cycle, which he then lost, forcing him to resign as Coalition leader and then leave politics.

Meanwhile, Dutton’s approval rating rose by one point to 40 percent, giving him a net negative approval rating of -11.

But there is a glimmer of hope for Albanese in the fact that previous prime ministers, John Howard and Paul Keating, came back from worse approval ratings to win elections.

Albanese can also take heart in the fact that he remains just ahead of Dutton as Australia’s preferred prime minister on 44 per cent, despite the opposition leader increasing his vote to 41 per cent.

It was the narrowest margin recorded between party leaders since the 2022 election.

In the primary election results, 31 per cent supported the Labor Party, 39 per cent the Coalition, 12 per cent the Greens, 11 per cent the minor parties and seven per cent One Nation.

The Coalition was the only party to increase its primary vote since the last Newspoll in December.

The Coalition continues to lead on a two-party preference basis with 51 per cent to Labour’s 49 per cent.

While Albanese maintains a narrow lead as preferred prime minister, most voters believe Labor will lose to the Coalition in the next election.

Two in three voters believed the next election would result in a hung parliament, with the Coalition or Labor Party leading a minority government.

The poll also found that 29 per cent expect the Coalition to win as a minority with the support of independents, while 24 per cent believe it will win enough seats to form a government.

Only 15 per cent of voters believed Labor would maintain a majority government, while 33 per cent expected it would lead a hung parliament.

More women believed in a Coalition victory: 58 per cent compared to 49 per cent of men.

Younger voters were also more likely to predict a Coalition victory at 53 per cent.

The latest poll comes hours after Albanese insisted his government was going “in the right direction” despite Labour’s falling popularity in the polls.

“I lead a focused, orderly government that has helped Australia get through very difficult economic times,” he told Sky News on Sunday.

“We understand that people have been making it difficult, but what we have done is acted on it.”

‘We have taken substantial steps to ensure that inflation is now two ahead. We produced two budget surpluses to help with that.”
