Reported at michaelwest.com.au: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s handling of Tropical Cyclone Alfred has led to a rise in voter satisfaction, bringing him level with opposition leader Peter Dutton for the first time in a year.

YouGov polling indicates Labor maintains a slight lead over the coalition, with Albanese preferred as prime minister by 45% of respondents compared to Dutton’s 39%.

The prime minister’s decision to support Ukraine has also contributed to his improved leadership standings amid criticism of Dutton’s absence from his electorate during the cyclone.
