The ALP has had momentum behind their TPP vote growth since May 2005.But it was only since December 2005 that the nature of that momentum changed from being a soft growth heavily reliant upon minor party preferences to being a hard momentum driven by the growth in their own primary vote that continues to this day." Possum, do you mean December 2006 is paragraph above? The graph looks like the change occurred in Dec 06, not 05. That would make it Rudd's leadership that changed the voting intentions, I guess. “This brings us back to the issue of momentum.

Perhaps Possum was refering to his sub-woofer destroying Bass, the Tasmanian electorate ? :-) Nice to see my prejudices borne out with data …

What is surprsing is that the libs are still managing to get over 40% of the TPP.

I'm waiting for the main course. Election night will be fun at my place - get all my political friends around for the show. Possum - will you be hosting on-line? Or are you planning on hanging around at Poll Bludger's place? Everything that has come out lately has been another nail in Howard's political coffin. Possum's deconstruction of voting swings looks like another one. While his choice of music is generally excellent, when it comes to this government at this point in time, he should look no further than "The Downward Spiral", by Nine Inch Nails :P Popcorn indeed.

a few thoughts
1.we are going to 1996 base as the determining factor for the swing ie labs REAL swing is only 5-6%
2.the sheeple locked in after the ruddster and aint going anywhere
3.the more the libs intrigue the more the swinging voter is polarised toward labor

The poll is rogue. Like the 60-40 at the end of May. Outside the margin of error. No way on Earth is the Labor primary still above 48. End of. I'm 95% sure. If ACN goes the same way, I'll change my mind, but I firmly predict it won't show anything resembling 51-37. Rubbish. The poll is rogue. Like the 60-40 at the end of May. Outside the margin of error.
