FEDERAL Labor’s vote has stabilised, but the party remains a long way behind the opposition, the latest Newspoll suggests


The government’s primary vote sits at 32 per cent, while the opposition dropped two points to 46 per cent, according to a Newspoll conducted at the weekend and published in The Australian today.

Support for the Greens fell one point to 10 per cent.

The coalition still commands a massive two-party preferred lead of 55 to 45 per cent, the same level as a fortnight ago, and would win the September 14 election in a landslide if the numbers are repeated.

Julia Gillard slipped two points to 35 per cent in the preferred prime minister stakes, five points behind Tony Abbott, who was steady at 40 per cent.
