Albanese’s approval rating is at -30. What’s the next poll going to show? Australians are completely fed up with the state of affairs in this country.

Albanese has claimed his office’s “dirt file” on Helen Haines, which raised questions about her character and possible undisclosed interests was simply a list of funding requests showing her “integrity.” He’s now trying to rewrite the story, apparently believing the public will accept this as anything but a cover-up. Barnaby Joyce responded that Labor’s office is proving itself “as dumb as a bag of hammers.”

Anthony Albanese has hit a new low. His net approval rating has crashed to –30 the worst of his prime ministership with just 32% of voters satisfied and 62% dissatisfied. Latest YouGov poll: Labor’s primary vote falls to a record-low 24%, the party’s worst since 1901. It has lost its two-party preferred lead for the first time since the 2025 election, now tied 50–50 with the Coalition. One Nation leads on 27%. Support among working-class voters has collapsed. After more than a year of cost-of-living pain, rising interest rates, and broken promises on housing and energy, voters are walking away. The numbers show a govt that has lost its mandate and its base. Labor’s position is deteriorating, not stabilising, Labor is finished. People have had more than enough of this government.
