Reported at michaelwest.com.au: Federal Labor has achieved its first polling victory in eight months, gaining a two-party preferred vote of 51% compared to the Coalition’s 49%.

This rise in support follows a significant $8.5 billion boost to Medicare and strong backing of Ukraine, which has helped increase Anthony Albanese’s standing as preferred prime minister.

Despite the gains, Labor’s primary vote remains at 31%, still trailing the Coalition’s 36%.
