| First Preference Index June 2011 |
|
The increase in the Liberal Party vote is much stronger than the small decrease in the Greens vote and the larger decline in the Labor vote. This reflects an increasing polarisation in the electorate with minor party voters and independents in decline.
Note: Our First Preference index is calculated from a self-selecting panel of respondents. All party votes are zero-based as at September 2009 at 100 and the index shows movements in the primary vote since then with relation to that value. It has proven to fairly closely track movements in quantitative polling conducted by other pollsters such as Newspoll, Nielsen, Galaxy and Morgan. |
